Equipment

  • 4 half pint canning jars or two 4-inch springform pans
  • 8-cup measuring cup
  • electric hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 7 ea Biscoff cookies (@60g) (Use 8 cookies if using spring form pans.)
  • 1 T butter, unsalted, melted
  • 1 lg egg
  • 1/4 c raw sugar
  • 1 t vanilla extract

Instructions

Crust

  • Plug in HOTLOGIC®. Place butter in heat safe container in the HOTLOGIC® to soften/melt.
  • Put cookies in 1 quart bag and smash with hands, tumbler, or rolling pin to make small crumbs.
  • Pour crumb in small bowl. Add butter and stir to coat.
  • If you are using the springform pan, the flat side goes down so that it will have contact with the HOTLOGIC®. Cover the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, pressing into the bottom and around the edge. Then attach the ring in place. with the excess paper on the outside. The excess can be used to lift the cheesecake out of the bottom when ready to eat.
  • Spoon crumbs into half pint jars or springform pans, distributing evenly. Press to pack crust tightly.
  • Place containers in the HOTLOGIC®.

Filling

  • In small bowl add egg and sugar. Beat on Low until smooth.
  • Add vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on Low until well blended. Set aside.
  • In an 8-cup measuring bowl add cream cheese. Cream on Low with hand mixer. (Do not need to clean off egg mixture.)
  • Add sour cream. Blend on Low until smooth
  • Add egg mixture. Blend on Low until smooth.
  • Remove containers from the HOTLOGIC®. (The metal pan may be hot.) Pour the filling in even amounts in the dishes. Gently shake and pound the dish to even out the filling and remove any air bubbles.
  • Place dishes in the HOTLOGIC®. Cover with parchment paper. Zip shut. Cook for 8 hours.
  • After 8 hours, unplug the HOTLOGIC®, unzip and carefully remove the parchment paper without letting the water drip on the cheescake. Let set for 30 minutes before putting in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours before eating.
  • If you used the half pint jars, add your favorite topping and eat from the jar.
  • If you used the springform pans, cut between the cheesecake and the ring before releasing the latch. You can lift the cheesecake out of the bottom by the excess paper. Peel off the paper and gently set on a plate. Add your favorite topping and enjoy.

Notes

  1. A quick way to get cream cheese or sour cream to room temperature, is to place them in a bowl of water. Cream cheese in a sealed, foil wrapper can be placed directly in the water. The sour cream can be placed in a small bowl and then set in water.
  2. To have a drier crust, bake the crust overnight before making the filling. Place the springform pans on a paper towel to absorb the melted butter. Don't use the paper towel once the filling is poured over the crust and place back in the HOTLOGIC® to bake the cheesecake.
