Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs, sugar (if using), and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
