For the base:
- 7.75 oz Biscoff biscuits crushed, about generous 2 cups
- 3.5 oz unsalted butter melted, about generous 1/3 cup (7 tbsp)
For the cheesecake mixture:
- 10 fl oz heavy cream (double cream) about generous 1 1/4 cups
- 14 oz cream cheese about generous 1 3/4 cups; must be full-fat
- 8.75 oz Biscoff spread about generous 3/4 cup
For the topping:
- 5.25 oz Biscoff spread melted, about scant 1/2 cup
- 1.75 oz Biscoff biscuits crushed, about 1/2 cup
Combine the crushed Biscoff biscuits with the melted butter and press into the bottom of the ramekins or pan, using the back of a spoon to flatten it and really pack it down. Pop into the fridge to chill while you make the topping.
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, cream cheese, and Biscoff spread. Whisk until it's very thick – I use an electric mixer, but good old-fashioned elbow grease works too.
Remove the pots from the fridge and pour over the cheesecake mixture, smoothing the tops with a teaspoon so there are no gaps between the biscuit base and the cheesecake topping. Pop into the fridge for 1 hour or so to let the mixture firm up a bit.
Melt the Biscoff spread very gently in a pan - you don't want it to get hot, just want it melted. This also works in the microwave; heat in short bursts and stir until it’s melted.
Pour the melted Biscoff over the tops of the cheesecakes. Sprinkle the cheesecakes with crushed biscuits around the edge and a whole biscuit in the middle if you want (the more Biscoff biscuits, the better, in my opinion).
Then leave to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Make-ahead and storage
Make-Ahead: These cheesecakes are a great make-ahead dessert! Give them at least 3 hours in the fridge, but overnight is best, and make sure it's fully set up.
Storage: If you do have any leftover cheesecake (which is doubtful!), keep it refrigerated and covered with plastic wrap. Eat within a day or two.
Quick tip
- To make 1 large cheesecake, use an 8-inch springform pan rather than the 8 small ramekins/glasses.
