Chocolate ganache
Whipped cream
Whole Lotus Biscoff cookies (for decoration)

Instructions:

Prepare the crust:
- Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Press the cookie-butter mixture into the bottom of a square pan, creating an even crust. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to set.

Assemble the cheesecake:
- Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the cream layer and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for a crunchy texture.
- Top with the remaining cream mixture and smooth it out. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to allow everything to set.
Finish the dessert:
- Once the bars are set, pour chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful, glossy finish.
- Decorate with whipped cream and whole Lotus Biscoff cookies on top.
Serve:
- Once everything is set, slice the bars into squares and serve. Enjoy the layers of sweetness, crunch, and creamy goodness!

For Chocolate Lovers:

For a mocha-inspired version, mix instant coffee or espresso powder into the cream cheese filling to give the cheesecake a coffee-flavored twist that pairs perfectly with the caramel.

Make this recipe vegan by swapping cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative, using coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and choosing a vegan caramel sauce and chocolate ganache.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Can I use a different cookie for the crust?
Yes, you can use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or any cookie with a similar texture. Just be sure to adjust the amount of butter to help bind the crumbs together.

2. How long can I store these bars?
These bars will last for up to 4-5 days in the fridge if covered properly. You can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months—just thaw them in the fridge before serving.

3. Can I make these bars ahead of time?
Definitely! These bars are perfect for making ahead. Prepare them the night before and let them chill overnight in the fridge for the best flavor and texture.

4. What if I don’t have a square pan?
No problem! You can use a round pie dish, rectangular pan, or even individual serving glasses. Just adjust the serving size based on the pan you use.

5. How do I prevent the ganache from melting?
To ensure the ganache stays firm, let it cool to room temperature before pouring it over the bars. If it’s too warm, it may slide off the sides.
