Cookie Dough:

• 200 g Biscoff cookies

• 95 g butter

Raspberry Mixture:

• 250 g raspberries

• 90 g granulated sugar

Cheesecake Batter:

• 600 g cream cheese

• 200 g crème fraîche

• 100 g granulated sugar

• 8 g vanilla sugar

• 40 g cornstarch

• 3 eggs

Extra:

• 50 g Biscoff cookies

Coating:

• 500 g white chocolate

Garnish:

• White chocolate

• Dried raspberries

Directions

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

   • Grind the Biscoff cookies in a food processor.

   • Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat and mix it with the crushed cookies to form a dough.

   • Press the mixture into a springform pan lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for a bit to set.

2. Make the Raspberry Mixture:

   • Combine raspberries and granulated sugar in a frying pan over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.

   • Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds and place the raspberry juice into a piping bag. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Batter:

   • In a deep bowl, mix cream cheese, crème fraîche, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar until smooth.

   • Sift in the cornstarch and mix again.

   • Add eggs one at a time, folding them gently into the mixture.

4. Assemble the Cheesecake:

   • Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cookie crust.

   • Scatter halved Biscoff cookies on top and drizzle the raspberry syrup.

   • Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over and smooth it out.

5. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 125°C (257°F). Bake the cheesecake for 60-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

   • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit for another hour to avoid cracks. Cool the cheesecake completely and then freeze for 4-5 hours until firm.

6. Finish the Bites:

   • Cut the cheesecake into small, equal squares.

   • Melt white chocolate using a double-boiler and dip each cheesecake bite into the chocolate.

   • Place the coated bites on parchment paper and drizzle with more white chocolate. Garnish with dried raspberries.

FAQs

How do I get smooth cheesecake batter?

Ensure your cream cheese, crème fraîche, and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This will help prevent lumps and create a smooth batter.

Can I make these bites ahead of time?

Yes, these cheesecake bites can be made a day in advance. In fact, letting them chill in the fridge overnight helps enhance their flavor.

What if I don’t have a springform pan?

You can use any similar-sized pan, but make sure it’s lined with parchment paper to easily lift the cheesecake out once it’s set.

How do I prevent cracks in the cheesecake?

Bake the cheesecake at a low temperature, and once it’s done, let it sit in the oven for an hour to prevent cracking due to sudden temperature changes.

Can I substitute the Biscoff cookies?

Yes, you can substitute Biscoff cookies with any crunchy cookie, such as graham crackers or shortbread.

Can I make the white chocolate coating with another type of chocolate?

Certainly! You can use dark or milk chocolate if you prefer, but white chocolate adds a perfect sweetness to complement the tangy cheesecake.

How do I cut the cheesecake into neat squares?

Dip your knife in hot water, dry it off, and then slice the cheesecake. This will give you clean cuts without the cheesecake sticking to the knife.

What’s the best way to store these cheesecake bites?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze them for longer storage.

Can I add other toppings to the bites?

Yes, you can get creative with toppings! Try adding fresh berries, a drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Is it necessary to freeze the cheesecake bites?

Freezing is optional but recommended for the best texture. It helps firm them up and makes them easier to handle when dipping in chocolate.
