Instructions
For the crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine both crushed biscuits, the melted butter, and the cinnamon with a fork until crumbs are moistened evenly throughout. Press along the bottom and sides of a lightly greased 9 inch springform pan. Use the base of a measuring cup and press it on to the crumb mixture into the pan to really pack the crumbs tightly down. Let the crust chill a little in the fridge while you prepare cheesecake.
For the cheesecake:
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
- Preferably using a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese with the sugar in a large bowl with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until well combined and fluffy. Blend in the milk, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing briefly after each addition.
- Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. It may be easier to sift in the flour.
- Pour filling into prepared crust. Place springform pan on a baking sheet (to avoid butter dripping in your oven), then place on the middle rack of the oven.
- Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside for another 5 hours or so until oven has completely cooled. This is to prevent cracking. (Alternately, if baking in a water bath, turn oven off after 1 hour, and leave cheesecake for a further 1 hour in the oven before removing and chilling, see notes for details)
- Store cheesecake in fridge after this time period is over until chilled, then you can go on to topping and decorating it.
Topping the cheesecake:
- Microwave the Biscoff spread for the topping for 30 seconds, stirring halfway through. You want it to be runny and melted.
- Pour the Biscoff spread over the surface of the chilled cheesecake, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Garnish the top with some Biscoff crumbs and whole biscuits if desired, then place back in the fridge just until spread has set. Serve cold straight out of the fridge.

- Recipe tips:
- For baking in a water bath:
- You'll have to very thoroughly wrap the sides and bottom of the pawith heavy duty aluminium foil to avoid water leaking in, then placing cheesecake in a large roasting pan. Once you place the cheesecake in the pan and into the oven, pour in hot water to fill the roasting pan with 1/2-1 inch water. This steams the cheesecake and allow sit to cook evenly and slowly avoiding cracks. After 1 hour of baking, turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 more hour.
- You can freeze cheesecake either whole or sliced. Make sure the cheesecake is very tightly wrapped, and then store it for up to 6 months in the freezer. If you froze a whole cheesecake, then thaw overnight in the fridge. If you froze slices, individual slices will thaw in a couple hours in the fridge.
- Make sure the cream cheese, sour cream, milk and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This will help ensure a lump free cheesecake.
- Pack the biscuit crust tightly into the pan and chill the crust after forming it, this will make sure it doesn't crumble when you cut into it.
- Don't keep opening the oven door, and make sure you leave the cheesecake in the turned off oven after baking to avoid the cheesecake cracking in the middle.
- Use full fat everything- cream cheese, milk and sour cream for a really rich and creamy cheesecake.
- Make sure to briefly microwave the Lotus spread so that it's runny enough to pour over the top of the cheesecake.
