Introduction
Cookie Butter Pie is a luscious no-bake dessert featuring the rich, spiced flavor of Biscoff cookie butter in a creamy filling atop a crunchy cookie crust. Easy to make and delightfully indulgent, this pie is perfect for any occasion where you want to impress with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 2 cups speculoos cookie crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cookie butter (speculoos spread)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
- Optional toppings: warmed cookie butter drizzle, crushed cookies, or melted chocolate
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the crust by mixing cookie crumbs with melted butter and a pinch of salt until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into a 9-inch pie dish and chill for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the cookie butter and continue beating until the mixture is glossy and well combined.
- Step 3: In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold one scoop of whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture to loosen it, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until fluffy.
- Step 4: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, and tap the pie dish gently to release any air bubbles. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
- Step 5: Before serving, drizzle warmed cookie butter or melted chocolate on top and sprinkle with crushed cookies if desired. Slice the pie with a warm knife for clean wedges.
Tips & Variations
- For a lighter texture, fold in whipped cream carefully without overmixing to keep the filling fluffy.
- Substitute graham cracker crumbs for a milder crust flavor if speculoos crumbs aren’t available.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crust for extra spice depth.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries to balance the richness.
Storage
Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Because it contains whipped cream and cream cheese, it’s best enjoyed chilled and consumed within this timeframe. To reheat slices, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes; avoid microwaving to preserve texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie benefits from chilling overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set properly. Just be sure to keep it covered in the refrigerator.
What can I use instead of cookie butter?
If you don’t have cookie butter, you can substitute with peanut butter or almond butter, though the flavor will be different. Another option is to increase the amount of cookie crumbs in the crust and add a bit more powdered sugar to the filling for sweetness.

Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups speculoos cookie crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cookie butter (speculoos spread)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
Optional Toppings
- Warmed cookie butter drizzle
- Crushed cookies
- Melted chocolate
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a bowl, combine the speculoos cookie crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes to set.
- Prepare the filling base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. Then add the cookie butter and continue beating until fully incorporated and glossy.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape but still be slightly soft at the tips.
- Combine the filling: Fold one scoop of the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture gently to loosen the texture. Then carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until the filling is fluffy and uniform in texture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Assemble and chill: Spoon the filling into the chilled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pie dish gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the pie to set completely.
- Add toppings and serve: Before serving, optionally drizzle warmed cookie butter or melted chocolate over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with crushed cookies for added texture and decoration. Use a warm knife to slice the pie into clean wedges and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use a warm knife when slicing for cleaner cuts and to prevent cracking the filling.
- Chilling overnight improves the pie’s texture and flavor by allowing it to fully set.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs if speculoos crumbs are not available, though it will alter the flavor slightly.
- For a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes before chilling, although this is not necessary for no-bake versions.
- Warming the cookie butter slightly makes it easier to drizzle as a topping.
