- Pour batter into crust and place in a water bath.
- Bake for 1 hour 25 minutes until center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes, then slightly open the door for another 30 minutes.
- Remove and refrigerate for 5–6 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Warm Biscoff spread and pour over the cheesecake, then decorate with crumbs.
Notes
For the best results, always use full-fat cream cheese, as it creates a rich, smooth, and creamy texture. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to avoid adding too much air, which can lead to cracks during baking. Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps it cook evenly and gives it a silky texture. Once baked, let the cheesecake chill completely before slicing, as this allows it to set properly and ensures clean, neat slices.
