Equipment

  • 8" springform pan

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325℉

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!
