100 ml of double cream, chilled

2 lotus Biscoff cookies, broken

For Biscoff filling:

450 grams soft / cream cheese, room temperature

100 grams icing sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

7 tbsp smooth Biscoff spread

Method

Step 1: Place the digestives and Biscoff cookies in a large mixing bowl, using the end of a rolling pin crush into a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and mix until thoroughly combined. Tip the buttery biscuit mix into a lined 8 inch tin, press the biscuits down using the back of a teaspoon. Place in the fridge whilst you make the cheese filling.

Step 2: Next you need to make the white chocolate centre. In a large mixing bowl add the soft cheese, icing sugar and vanilla, using a spatula beat until all combined. Using a spatula again, pour in the white chocolate and mix in quickly. Next add the chilled double cream, stir in until thick. If the mix isn’t thick enough use an electric whisk until it thickens. Place the 6 inch loose bottom tin into the centre of your large tin without its base, and tape it into place. Then scoop the white chocolate cheesecake into the smaller tin. Break up two Biscoff cookies and place into the layer. Pop it into the fridge for two hours or until set.

Step 3: Once the white chocolate layer has set make the Biscoff cheesecake. Place the soft cheese, icing sugar and vanilla into your electiric mixer, mix on a low speed until combined. Next add the Biscoff, mix on a medium high speed until thoroughly combined. Remove your bowl from the mixer and pour in the double cream, using a spatula mix until thick. If it doesn’t seem thick enough place the bowl back on the mixer, using the whisk attachment, whip on a medium speed until thick.

Step 4: Run a knife around the edge of the white chocolate cheesecake, un-tape the tin and remove. Scoop the mix into a piping bag and pipe around the edge of the tin and white chocolate centre. Scoop the rest of the mix into the tin and level out using a spatula. Pop back into the fridge for four hours or over night.

Step 5: Once the cheesecake has set remove it from the tin. For the decoration melt the left over Biscoff cookie butter and pour it into a piping bag. Snip off the end of the piping bag and squeeze the melted cookie butter around the edge of the cheesecake to create a drip effect. Make the whipped cream by pouring the double cream, vanilla and icing sugar into your mixer and whip until it makes soft peaks. Scoop it into a piping bag with a large star nozzle, pipe large stars around the edge of the cheesecake, then pipe smaller stars on the second row. Go to town with the gold sprinkles. When ready to serve pop six lotus Biscuits around the top.
