Classic New York Cheesecake with Biscoff Crust

A dense, creamy New York cheesecake with a crunchy Biscoff crust, no water bath needed.

This cheesecake delivers the classic dense, velvety texture of a New York-style cheesecake with minimal fuss. The Biscoff crust adds a caramelized crunch that pairs perfectly with the rich, tangy filling.

Bake it until just set, then chill thoroughly for clean slices. A drizzle of Biscoff spread on top makes it extra special.

    Converted amounts are rounded.

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 338°F.
    2. For the crust: In a blender, pulse the Biscoff cookies until they become fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until combined.
    3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch round mold. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
    4. For the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
    5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
    6. Pour the filling over the baked crust. Return to the oven and bake at 325°F for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
    7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before unmolding and slicing.
    8. Drizzle each slice with Biscoff spread before serving.

    💡 Tips

    • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
    • Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best texture and cleanest slices.
    • Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for neat cuts.
