Step-by-Step Biscoff Caramel Cheesecake Instructions

1. Prepare the Biscoff crust
   • Crush 2 cups Biscoff cookies finely.
   • Mix with 5 tbsp melted butter until crumbly but holds shape when pressed.
   • Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan bottom.
   • Chill in fridge while preparing filling to set the base.
2. Make the caramel sauce
   • In a saucepan, melt 1 cup brown sugar with 6 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup heavy cream over low heat.
   • Stir continuously until thickened and glossy (around 5 minutes).
   • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Prepare the cream cheese filling
   • Beat 24 oz cream cheese until smooth.
   • Add 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 3 eggs one at a time.
   • Fold in 1/2 cup sour cream for extra creaminess.
   • Swirl in half the caramel sauce gently into batter for caramel ribbons.
4. Assemble and bake
   • Pour filling over the chilled crust.
   • Drizzle remaining caramel on top and use a knife to create swirls for visual appeal.
   • Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50–60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
   • Turn off oven and let cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
5. Chill to set
   • Cool at room temperature before refrigerating at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
   • This resting time intensifies flavors and texture.
6. Serve and garnish
   • Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
   • Optionally, top with crushed Biscoff crumbs or whipped cream.
