Biscoff Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

What’s better than one dessert…two desserts!

So let me explain…as you know by now dessert mash ups is kinda my thang. I was thinking what would go well with Biscoff cheesecake, then it hit me…Biscoff cinnamon rolls, obviously.

This cheesecake is a beautiful showstopper that would make any Biscoff fan extremely happy. The cheesecake is super easy to make as it’s no bake (which we love) and is fully loaded with Biscoff spread! The cheesecake base uses Biscoff biscuits and the cheesecake is topped with a beautiful Biscoff drizzle.

Biscoff cinnamon rolls are amazing all by themself, but they do look very impressive on top of this Biscoff cheesecake. It’s totally up to you if you want to just make the Biscoff cheesecake without the cinnamon rolls, or the rolls without the cheesecake. The choice is yours.

From a time point of view, the cheesecake has to set in the fridge preferably overnight which means you have plenty of time to make the cinnamon rolls.

They have a delicious Biscoff spread and cinnamon filling, topped with a homemade salted caramel drizzle…YUM. The smell in the kitchen was pretty epic between the freshly baked bread smell and the caramel…omg take me back!

Cinnamon rolls are not hard to make, you just need a bit of time for proving the dough. I love to make and share them with my family, they always disappear in minutes!

NOW BACK TO THE CHEESECAKE…

Ingredients

• Cream cheese

• Mascarpone cheese

• Lotus Biscoff spread smooth

• Heavy/double cream

• Icing sugar

• Cinnamon

• Vanilla extract

You might have noticed the edition of Mascarpone cheese which I put in most of my no bake cheesecake recipes. I explain more below what Mascarpone is below.

WHAT IS MASCARPONE, AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO CREAM CHEESE?

Mascarpone is referred to as ‘Italian cream cheese’ and originated in Northern Italy. The texture is creamier than cream cheese due to its higher fat content. You may be familiar with mascarpone in the popular (and one of my favs) Italian dessert Tiramisu. Another difference is cream cheese tends to be firmer and tangier in taste vs mascarpone which is more milky and a little sweet.

WHEN SHOULD I MAKE THIS CHEESECAKE?

You can make this amazing cheesecake mash up whenever you like! But here are some suggestions:

• Biscoff spread reminds me of Christmas flavours like caramel, cinnamon and other spices. So how about making this cheesecake your Christmas showstopper this year!
• For your Biscoff obsessed friend or family member.
• International cheesecake day – 30th August every year.
• Dinner party showstopper to wow your guests.

         3. In a new bowl whip the heavy cream, not too much. You want the consistency to be a little firmer than yoghurt. Add to the original bowl, mix together until just combined. Pour into the cake pan and set in the fridge for min 8 hours or ideally overnight.

         6. Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread Biscoff spread all over the dough, then sprinkle cinnamon on top.
         7. Cut the rectangle into strips, roll up each strip and pop onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover loosely with cling film for 30 mins to allow them to rise a little.
