Biscoff Cheesecake has been on my to-try list for a long time. You may have noticed my fondness for cheesecakes based on the number of cheesecake recipes on this blog. Aside from the taste, making cheesecake is simpler / easier than making regular cakes.
My second son’s favourite flavour is Biscoff, so I wanted to make a Biscoff cheesecake for his birthday. I used my regular cheese cake recipe and tweaked it for this. If you like Biscoff, this is a must-try recipe. You don’t believe me? not a problem! Please try and notify me. The base is Lotus Biscoff, and the filling is Biscoff-flavored cheese. I didn’t top it with anything because we don’t like cream toppings, but you can use whatever toppings you want.

Notes
- Use white version of sweet potato for this recipe
- I get peanut powder otherwise make powder with dry roasted peanut
- Sweet potato tends to stick to the pan, so make sure you use a heavy bottom pan
- Keep grated sweet potato in water till you need it. This will prevent the dis-colouring
