Peanut Butter Cheesecake with Biscoff

Past couple of days were busy with Durga Puja celebrations at our end. And I find each year it’s the same old story. We prepare ourselves for Puja celebrations and even before we realize it’s almost gone, leaving behind some new memories to look back. Now that the euphoria has subsided and melancholy has set in firmly, we have to keep reminding ourselves ‘’ Ashche bochor abaar hobe’’. This kept echoing in our mind.

Wish you all a very happy Dussehra and Shobo Bijoya.

Anyhow, this cheesecake recipe, I had made earlier, not during those 4-5 days of Nabaratri.We have started liking biscoff biscuits a lot , with a nice caramel flavour these biscuits are very addictive. So its black tea with biscoff , chocolate shakes with biscoff and so on for us now. I thought to make the crust with these biscuits for our next cheesecake recipe and it really came out so nice and delicious loaded with lots of calories, of course. I needed to at least make peanut butter cheesecake once, so the taste of peanut butter can linger on and gets registered in our mind. And this turned out such a nice combination- peanut butter cheesecake with biscoff- absolutely delicious. My folks liked it, hope yours too. From my kitchen to yours. Peanut butter cheesecake with biscoff.
