Cheesecake batter

Add whipped cream
- In a separate bowl, place the cold, full-fat heavy cream and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until stiffly whipped.

Storage and freezing
In the fridge: Store the no-bake biscoff cheesecake in the fridge covered with plastic wrap or in a storage box for 3-4 days.
Freezer: You can also store this cheesecake in the freezer for up to 3 months, just let it defrost gently in the fridge before serving.
Recipe tips
- Smooth Cheesecake Filling: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Beat the cream cheese on its own first until it's creamy, then add the rest of your ingredients for a smooth filling.
- Biscoff Layering: For an intense Biscoff flavor, spread a layer of cookie butter over the crust before adding the cheesecake mixture. This will create a delightful surprise layer of flavor.
- Cheesecake Stability: To stabilize the cheesecake, consider adding a touch of gelatin dissolved in a small amount of water. This can be especially helpful if the cheesecake will be served in a warm environment.
- Garnish before Serving: If using fruit, sauces, or other toppings, add them just before serving to prevent the cheesecake from becoming soggy.
- Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan makes it much easier to remove the cheesecake without damaging it. If you don't have one, line a regular pan with parchment paper with overhanging edges to lift the cheesecake out once it's set.
- Chilling Time: For the best texture, chill the cheesecake overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and intensifies the taste.
- Clean Slices: Dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting each slice. This will give you clean and professional-looking slices.
- Customize Your Base: While Biscoff cookies are traditional, you can experiment with other cookie bases like graham crackers or chocolate cookies for a different twist.
- Balance Sweetness: If you find the sweetness of the cookie butter overpowering, add a pinch of sea salt to the cheesecake mixture to balance the flavors.
