Turtle Cheesecake with Biscoff Cookie Crust is an indulgent dessert that combines creamy cheesecake, crunchy pecans, gooey caramel, and silky chocolate, all atop a spiced, buttery Biscoff cookie crust. The Biscoff cookies add a unique twist to the traditional crust, with their caramelized flavor perfectly complementing the richness of the cheesecake. This dessert is perfect for special occasions or when you’re craving something truly decadent.

Ingredients

  1. For the crust:
    1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies, crushed)
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    For the cheesecake filling:
    16 oz cream cheese, softened
    1 cup granulated sugar
    3 large eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup sour cream
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    Pinch of salt
    For the topping:
    1 cup pecan halves, toasted
    1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
    1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine Biscoff cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, and press into the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla, sour cream, heavy cream, flour, and salt. Pour filling into cooled crust.
  2. Bake the cheesecake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Cool in the oven with door slightly ajar for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Prepare the topping: Toast pecans at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Warm caramel sauce over low heat. Melt chocolate chips with cream until smooth.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour caramel sauce over chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and drizzle with melted chocolate.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • You can substitute the Biscoff crust with an Oreo or graham cracker crust for a different flavor.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, make a chocolate ganache topping instead of using melted chocolate chips.
  • If using store-bought caramel sauce, warm it gently to make it easier to drizzle over the cheesecake.
