Essential Ingredient Guide
- Biscoff cookies: Choose the original spread‑thin biscuits for a buttery crumb; pulse them finely for the crust.
- Cream cheese: Full‑fat cream cheese yields the smoothest filling; let it soften before mixing.
- Caramel sauce: A homemade salted caramel deepens flavor; drizzle just before serving.
- Sea salt: A pinch of flaky sea salt lifts the sweetness without overwhelming.
- Heavy cream: Whipped to soft peaks, it lightens the filling and adds silkiness.
- Vanilla extract: A few drops enhance the buttery notes of the crust.
Complete Cooking Process

Ingredient Readiness:
Gather all components, crush the Biscoff cookies, soften the cheese, and warm the caramel gently.
