Ingredients
For the base
- 248g Lotus Biscoff biscuits -strange amount I know, but that’s the weight of a packet of biscuits
- 100g melted unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
For the filling
- 500g cream cheese – If you shop at Tesco, Creamfields do cream cheese by the 200g carton, Philadelphia do weird sizes…165, 280
- 100g icing sugar
- 300 ml double cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract or 1 vanilla pod, scraped
- 200g smooth Lotus Biscoff spread – use smooth or crunchy, both great in this recipe
METHOD
Line a greased 20.5cm springform pan with baking parchment. Try putting it on the base then clipping the sides on as it stretches it nicely. You can then trim
Line the sides..it’s a bit of a faff but worth it. If you’ve liberally greased the sides it will stick better. FYI you can use a different size tin, but don’t go smaller as this recipe fills this one to the top!
Melt 100g unsalted butter
Put the biscuits in the food processor and whiz until crumbs. (Or put in a bag and bash with a rolling pin). Then, add the butter until thoroughly mixed. Press into the base of your tin.
Using a hand held whisk if you can, whisk the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. THEN add the double cream and vanilla and whisk until it is very thick.
Now stir in the biscoff, crunchy or smooth, your choice. Go crazy use s much as you like! You can also get a very satisfying swirl pattern if you wish.
Spoon the gorgeous mixture on top of the biscuit crumb base and chill in the fridge for at least 4 to 6 hours, but overnight is best.
Undo spring, remove paper from sides.
Then call for an expert helper to decorate it for you. Enjoy!
