Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Biscoff spread, melted

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.

  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until fully incorporated. Mix in the sour cream.
