Instructions
To Make the Crust:
Add your lotus Biscoff cookies to a food processor and process until completely fine.
Transfer to a bowl and add the unsalted butter and pumpkin pie spice.
Mix well until well combined.
Press into the bottom and sides of your 9inch springform pan. Take A LOT of time pressing the crust down, because this will help you remove it from the pan easier.
Use the bottom of a cup to help you push the crust into the bottom and sides. If anything crumbles, just keep doing it until it sticks.
Place the crust into the freezer for a minimum of 20 minutes.
To Make the Filling:
Add your cream cheese and pumpkin into the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment.
Beat until smooth, and no longer lumpy. You want to stop and scrape down the sides and bottom often.
Add in the sifted powdered sugar and sour cream and beat again. Add the lemon juice, pumpkin spice, and vanilla and beat well until smooth.
In another bowl, using the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks. Don’t over beat as it will turn into butter.
Fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese batter in 2 parts, be careful not to overmix it.
Pour the filling on top of the chilled crust and smooth over the top.
To top it, melt half of a Biscoff spread jar into the microwave in 10 second increments and pour on top of the cheesecake.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, preferably overnight.
To Decorate:
Beat heavy cream and pumpkin pie spice with a little powdered sugar and pipe on top using a piping bag.
To Serve:
Loosen the edges with a sharp knife carefully, making sure to go all the way down to the crust. You should be able to completely lift the cheesecake and transfer onto a cake plate.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a consistently silky texture of the filling, use high quality canned pumpkin puree.
You should keep whipping the heavy cream until you see stiff peaks but stop before it turns into butter from over-beating.
Gently fold in the whipped cream in two parts. This maintains the airiness quality of the filling.
For the flavors to harmonize and set properly, put them in the fridge overnight for best results.
