Instructions
Follow these steps to create a cheesecake that will transport you back to those warm and welcoming kitchens of your childhood:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in the Lotus Biscoff spread, creating a marbled effect in the batter.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
