Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 2 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- Optional Toppings:
- 1/4 cup cookie butter, warmed slightly until drizzly
- 1 tablespoon Biscoff cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Pulse Biscoff cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add cinnamon and salt, then stream in melted butter and pulse until the mixture clumps slightly.
- Form the Base: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom. Set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, cookie butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, salt, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream in 3 increments, beating well after each until the mixture is fluffy and fully incorporated.
- Assemble: Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Decorate & Serve: Drizzle with warmed cookie butter and sprinkle with crushed cookies if desired. Chill briefly, then slice into bars and serve cold.
Notes
- Use graham crackers or gingersnaps as an alternative crust base.
- Chill overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest consistency.
- Top only after chilling to prevent melting or softening.
- Bars can be made ahead and frozen for later serving.
