Biscoff cheesecake

Method

• step 1

  Line the base of a 20cm springform cake tin with baking parchment. Melt the butter in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Meanwhile, blitz the Biscoff biscuits in a food processor to make coarse crumbs. Transfer to a bowl, then stir through the melted butter until it has a texture like damp sand.

• step 2

  Tip the mixture into the lined tin, using a spoon to smooth and flatten. Keep chilled while you make the filling.

• step 3

  Gently melt the Biscoff spread in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts in the microwave, then leave to cool slightly. Put the soft cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk to loosen. Pour in the cream and sift over the icing sugar, then add the Biscoff spread. Beat on a low speed for 2-3 mins until thick and smooth.

• step 4

  Spoon the mixture onto the chilled base, then smooth out using the back of the spoon. Chill for 4-5 hrs or overnight.

• step 5

  To decorate, melt some Biscoff spread in the microwave as before and drizzle over the top of the cheesecake, then scatter over some roughly crushed biscuits.
