Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 24 oz Cream Cheese full-fat
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar can substitute with brown sugar
  • 3 whole Eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup Sour Cream can substitute with Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream or whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract pure
For the Crust
  • 2 cups Biscoff Cookies finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted
For the Salted Caramel Sauce
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream slightly warmed
  • 1 tbsp Coarse Sea Salt

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Stand mixer
  • Medium saucepan
  • Baking dish

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine finely crushed Biscoff cookies and melted unsalted butter, stiring until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool.
Make the Salted Caramel Sauce
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, add granulated sugar and stir until it melts and turns amber in color, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, add unsalted butter, warm heavy cream, and coarse sea salt, mixing until smooth.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time. Finally, add sour cream, heavy cream, cornstarch, and cooled caramel, blending until silky.
Bake Cheesecake
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling onto the cooled crust. Prepare a water bath in a larger baking dish with hot water and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-65 minutes until the edges are firm.
Chill & Serve
  1. After baking, turn off the oven and crack the door. Cool for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from pan, drizzle with salted caramel, sprinkle sea salt, and slice.
