How to Make the Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
Crush the Biscoff biscuits in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. You can also use a rolling pin and a plastic bag if you don’t have a food processor.
Step 2: Mix with Butter
Add the melted unsalted butter to the crushed biscuits and mix well until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Step 3: Press into the Tin
Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a 9-inch springform tin, ensuring an even layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the base to set.
Step 4: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will form the base of your cheesecake filling.
Step 5: Whip the Double Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will add the airy texture to the cheesecake.
Step 6: Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. This creates a light, fluffy filling.
Step 7: Swirl the Salted Caramel Sauce
Take your salted caramel sauce and gently swirl it into the cheesecake mixture. You can use a knife or a spoon to create beautiful ribbons of caramel.
Step 8: Assemble and Refrigerate
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base in the springform tin. Smooth the top and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the springform tin, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich, creamy, and indulgent flavors!
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: To avoid lumps, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the icing sugar.
- Don’t Overmix the Whipped Cream: Be careful not to overwhip the double cream. You want it to be just firm enough to hold its shape but not too stiff.
- Refrigerate Long Enough: For the best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. This ensures it sets properly and allows the flavors to meld together.
- Decorate with Extra Caramel: Add extra drizzles of salted caramel on top of the cheesecake for an even more indulgent look.
How to Serve
This Salted Caramel Biscoff Cheesecake is perfect on its own, but you can elevate it by serving it with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. For an added touch, drizzle some more salted caramel sauce on top or sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits as a garnish.
