Biscoff Dulce de Leche Meringue Cheesecake

Never would I have thought that the thin spiced cookies that have saved my life in many flights would become one of the best cheesecake crust I have ever made. Because they have more fat than graham crackers, the consistency of this crust is softer, almost cakey, and blends so deliciously when mixed with the cheesecake. I thought dulce de leche would pair perfectly with them. Both have notes of warm and spiced caramel. The Italian meringue on top makes this cheesecake something so good you will make sure a big piece remains on your fridge before sharing it with anyone!

This recipe has been in my notebook for a few weeks now. I’m very happy to finally share it with you, just in time for the holidays. As you probably know by now…

If you are wondering how cream cheese tastes in an ice cream, let me tell you it’s a match made in Heaven that you don’t want to miss out!

Cream cheese also adds a lot of viscosity to the ice cream texture, making it creamier than anything else.

This blueberry cheesecake ice cream has no eggs. It’s made with heavy cream that was…
