About Lotus cheesecake

Lotus cheesecake is a rich and indulgent dessert that combines a buttery biscuit crust, typically made from Lotus Biscoff cookies, with a creamy cheesecake filling. Originating from the popularization of Lotus Biscoff cookies in Belgium, this dessert has become a staple in fusion cuisine. Its nutritional profile is calorie-dense, with significant amounts of fats, carbohydrates, and sugars due to the use of cream cheese, sugar, and Lotus Biscoff spread. A typical slice of Lotus cheesecake can range from 300-500 calories depending on the recipe, with moderate amounts of protein from dairy ingredients but high levels of saturated fats and added sugars. While a decadent treat, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
