Method
Prepare the Crust
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.

Notes
Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature, and be patient while making the caramel to avoid burning.
