Tips & Variations
- Use a food processor to crush cookies for an even finer crust texture.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle some crushed Biscoff cookies on top before serving.
- Swap the Biscoff spread for peanut butter or Nutella for a different flavor twist.
- If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, add 1 teaspoon of gelatin dissolved in a tablespoon of warm water before folding in the whipped cream.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use another type of cookie for the crust?
Yes, graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or other spiced cookies work well as substitutes and will give a different but delicious flavor.
Do I need to use a springform pan?
A springform pan makes it easier to remove the cheesecake without damaging the crust, but you can also use a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper for easier release.
