Biscoff Lotus Cookie Crust
- Place 30 lotus cookies in a food processor and grind/pulse into fine crumbs. You will end up with about 1 3/4 cups (203 g) of cookie crumbs.
- Transfer cookie crumbs into a medium mixing bowl, pour in cooled melted butter, and mix ingredients together until mixture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon cookie crust mixture into a 9” tart pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to spread mixture into an even layer along the base and sides of tart pan.
- Place cookie crust in the refrigerator while cheesecake filling is being prepared.
No-Bake Cheesecake Filling/Tart
- Heat up half of the heavy cream (4 Tablespoons/60 ml) either on stovetop or in the microwave at 30 second intervals just until hot but not boiling.
- Place white chocolate chips into a small mixing bowl and pour over heated heavy cream. Let mixture sit un-touch for at least 30 seconds.
- Stir white chocolate and heavy cream mixture together until all of the chocolate is melted. If some of the chocolate chips do not melt, simply warm mixture in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir until all of the chocolate is melted. Set chocolate mixture aside to cool.
- In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or with a held-held mixer, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest together starting at low speed (about 30 seconds) and increasing to medium speed (about 1 minute). Mix in the vanilla extract.
- With the mixer running at medium speed, slowly pour in the melted white chocolate into cream cheese mixture.
- Once all of the white chocolate has been added, stop mixer and with at flexible spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of mixing bowl to catch any unmixed ingredients.
- Mix remaining heavy cream (4 Tablespoons/60 ml) into cheesecake mixture at medium high speed until mixture becomes thick and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Retrieve cookie crust from the refrigerator. Spoon cheesecake filling into prepared crust and spread into an even layer.
- Refrigerate no-bake cheesecake tart for at least 4 hours or overnight to set until firm.
- Decorate no-bake mixed berry cheesecake tart with fresh berries of choice and mint leaves (optional) before serving.
