1. Preheat & Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 465°F.

• Line a 6-inch (15 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper so that it overhangs the edges.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:

• In a large bowl, beat the Philadelphia cream cheese, caster sugar, and salt until smooth.

• Add the 1 Tbsp of cookie butter (after microwaving until softened) and mix until fully combined.

• Stir in the vanilla extract.

• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

• Gently fold in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.

• Fold in the roughly broken up 6–8 Lotus cookies gently so they are evenly distributed.

3. Prepare Lotus Butter for Swirl:

• Microwave 4–5 tbsp Lotus butter for 15–20 seconds until softened; set aside.

4. Layered Batter Assembly with Lotus Swirl:

• First Layer: Pour approximately 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle 2 tbsp of the softened Lotus butter evenly over this layer. Then, use a fork to create a gentle swirl.

• Second Layer: Pour in another 1/3 of the batter on top of the first layer. Drizzle another 2 tbsp of softened Lotus butter over this new layer and swirl gently with a fork.

• Final Layer: Pour in the remaining batter. Top with the rest of the softened Lotus butter and create a final swirl pattern with your fork.

5. Bake:

• Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.

• If the top looks too pale during baking, carefully switch to the broiler for 30 seconds to 2 minutes—but watch it closely to prevent burning.

6. Cool & Chill:

• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.

• Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight for the best texture and flavor.

7. Final Topping:

• Just before serving, break up 3 additional Lotus cookies and scatter them evenly on top of the cheesecake.
