For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup (120g) Biscoff spread, melted
• Optional: Crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish

Kitchen Equipment Needed

Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:

• Mixing bowls
• Food processor or rolling pin (for crushing cookies)
• 8×8-inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust.
4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set it aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake Bars

1. Bake the cheesecake bars in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
2. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4: Add the Biscoff Topping

1. Once the bars are cool, melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or until it’s smooth and pourable.
2. Spread the melted Biscoff evenly over the cheesecake layer.
3. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top, if desired.
4. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to set completely.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

1. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan.
2. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your cheesecake filling.
• Cookie Crushing Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room-temperature eggs and cream cheese ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
• Topping Variations: Swap the melted Biscoff spread for caramel sauce or drizzle with melted chocolate for a different twist.
• Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free cookie alternatives for the crust to make this dessert suitable for gluten-sensitive guests.

How to Store Leftovers

Biscoff Cheesecake Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap individual bars in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag; freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
