- Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan in aluminum foil and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Mix until crumbly and chill.
- Mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl for the filling.
- Pulse 46 Biscoff cookies in a food processor to powder, then mix with 6 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Press into the prepared springform pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- In a stand mixer, beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add in the other filling ingredients.
- Spread half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, sprinkle the spiced brown sugar filling, add the remaining batter, and top with streusel.
- Place the springform pan in a roasting pan and pour boiling water around it. Bake for 1.5 hours, then let sit in the oven for an hour.
- Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.
- Beat 3/4 cup heavy cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Serve on the cheesecake.
