Instructions

Crumble the speculaas in a food processor or put them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Put the butter for the cookie crust in a saucepan and let it melt on low heat.
Add the speculaas crumbs to the butter and stir well.
Pour them into the springform pan lined with parchment paper and press them well.
Place the crust in the fridge to set for at least 10 minutes.
Put the gelatin leaves or gelatin powder in a bowl with some cold water and let them soften for a few minutes.
Crumble the speculaas cookies for the filling and set them aside.
Whip up the heavy cream with the sugar until you have soft peaks, and stir the mascarpone.
Dissolve the gelatin in 3 tablespoons of hot water and stir into the mascarpone mixture. The water should not be too hot or the gelatin will no longer work!
Mix the mascarpone gently into the cream and stir in the crumbled speculaas.
Pour the speculaas cheesecake filling into the springform pan and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
