- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup coquito
- 1⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs room temperature
Crust
- 15 Biscoff cookies
- 3 tbsp salted butter melted
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Crust
To a food processor, add in Biscoff cookies, melted butter, and brown sugar. Blend until the consistency is close to sand and pour into the bottom of your springform pan.
With a cup, press down on the crust, ensuring its even across the entire pan. Bake for 10 minutes to set.
Cheesecake Filling
To a stand mixer or a bowl add in room temperature cream cheese. Mix on medium speed with the paddle attachment for about 1 minute or until soft.
Add in sugar and mix until combined.
Add in coquito and mix until just combined, do not overmix.
Add in room temperature eggs, one egg at a time. Do not over mix, we just want the yellow streaks gone.
Add in flour and mix until well combined.
Pour into pan and drop the cheesecake on the counter about 25-30 times to get rid of any air bubbles.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the center still has some jiggle and the sides are completely set.
Allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature on the counter, then refrigerate for an additional hour - overnight if you have the time.
Top with whipped cream and nutmeg for serving. Enjoy!
