INGREDIENTS

The Base

150 gr speculoos cookies

60 gr melted unsalted butter

The Cheesecake

400 gr full fat cream cheese, room temperature

285 gr cookie butter, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

125 ml whipping cream min 35% fat, chilled

2 tbsp icing sugar, sifted

The Caramel

60 gr unsalted butter

3 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

60 ml whipping cream

Others

some whipped cream

METHOD

Blend the speculoos cookies in a food processor into fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl and add in melted butter. Mix well. Pour into a 18 cm springform pan. Press evenly and tightly to the base. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Whisk cream cheese in a bowl for several minutes until light and fluffy. Then add in cookie butter, vanilla extract and mix well to combine. Set aside.
In another bowl, add in whipping cream and icing sugar. Whisk until soft peaks and pour in into cheesecake mixture. Gently fold the mixture until well combined.
Pour into the base and spread evenly. Leave to chill in the fridge overnight
Place a pan on medium heat and add in butter, salt, sugar and brown sugar. Stir until both sugars are totally dissolved.
Slowly and carefully add in the cream and vanilla extract. Stir well and continue cooking until the mixture slightly thickened. Pour into a jar and leave it to cool to room temperature. Note: I would recommend you preparing the caramel a few hours before serving so that it has time to set.
Pour cooled caramel onto the cheesecake and swirl the pan around to fully cover the top surface. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to let it set.
Once fully set, remove the cheesecake from the pan and pipe some whipped cream on top. Place some speculoos cookies on whipped cream and enjoy!
