Biscoff Cookie Butter Cheesecake
Prep time

If you cannot find Biscoff Cookie Butter, peanut butter is a straight up substitute
Lactic Acid in cheesecakes gives it that characteristic tang. If you do not have it, you can substitute1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into the recipe instead.
When measuring cornstarch I cannot stress enough that a kitchen scale is the best way to go. Cornstarch is a very difficult ingredient to measure consistently with a volume spoons measure, so while I list both measures below I cannot stress enough how the grams measure with a scale is going to give you the best results. I cannot tell you how many times people have complained that their cheesecake is like rubber and they don't know why! This is from a heavy measure of cornstarch when using volume measuring spoon vs the 100% accurate scale measure in grams.

- Press it into the prepared 7" cake pan and freeze while you prepare the cheesecake batter
- Place all cheesecake ingredients (except the second measure of cookie butter) into a food processor and process until smooth
- Take out about ¼ cup of batter and add the other measure of cookie butter (you may have to warm the cookie butter slightly in the microwave to get it to a more mixable consistency)
- Pour the first batter into prepared pan and then swirl in the concentrated cookie butter batter.
- Bake in a water bath in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour, then turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour.
