Prepare the Biscoff Base
- Crush the Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs.
- Combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Mix until well combined and set aside.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
- In a separate bowl, loosen the Philadelphia cream cheese using a whisk until smooth.
- Whip the liquid cream into whipped cream, gradually adding castor sugar and seeds from the vanilla bean until peaks form.
Create the Vanilla Gelatin Mixture
- In a small saucepan, combine a little water with sugar and the remaining vanilla seeds. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add gelatin to the mixture, stirring until it completely dissolves.
Combine and Fill the Silpat Cake Mold
- Pour the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese, mixing well.
- Gradually fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Pour the creamy mixture into your Silpat Cake Mold.
- Gently tap the mold on your counter to remove any air bubbles, then place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
Add the Biscoff Layer and Freeze Again
- After the initial freeze, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and top it with the prepared Biscoff base. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.
- Return the cheesecake to the freezer, this time overnight. This extra freezing time ensures your cheesecake will be easier to unmold and slice.
Serve
- Take the cheesecake out of the freezer 3 hours before you plan to serve it. This will allow the dessert to thaw and reach the ideal firm, yet creamy consistency.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the Silpat Cake Mold and serve to your delighted guests.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cheesecake
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will make it easier to blend and result in a smoother filling.
- Chill Properly: Don’t rush the freezing process. Giving the cheesecake ample time in the freezer will make unmolding and slicing much easier.
