Speculoos Cookie Butter Pie Recipe (2024)

Trader Joe's has cookie butter.

This recipe sounds delicious. I also believe that Bordeaux cookies by Pepperidge Farm would also work well with the crust. I often use those instead of graham crackers when making cheesecakes and other pies.

By happenstance I may know why the crust did not hold up for some. When I served it to guests it had been out of the fridge for about 5 minutes and the crust was perfect: held together and the crispness was a nice contrast to the airy filling. When I went to put the leftovers away around an hour or so later, the crust completely fell apart. So, I am thinking it needs to be cold when served. In any event, it was delicious (and I reduced the sugar to 1/4c so it was sweet but not cloying).

What is speculators cookie butter? I don’t see the explanation. Thanks.

I love TJ’s cookie butter so this recipe appealed to me. I prepared it in a small, shallow rectangular baking dish so I could cut them into squares. It worked perfectly. My crust held up, too. The filling was perfect, even though I ended up using about 1/4 cup less of heavy cream than called for. I could see cutting down on the sugar by 1/4 cup and it still being delish. Wish someone else in my house liked cookie butter too.

I've been making a similar pie for years, modifying a Goober pie (pb/chocolate) that I really liked (adapted from a Smitten Kitchen recipe). My 2 suggested adds are a white chocolate ganache and some salted caramel. I spoon the carmel on the cookie layer and freeze before adding the whipped cookie butter. Then the white chocolate ganache as a shell on top. Top with more salted caramel.

Cookie Butter was so famous some years ago, although when I got to taste it, I found it a bit underwhelming. It's made with ground speculoos cookies, white chocolate, butter and vanilla. It tastes like gingerbread. I think the alternatives to Cookie Butter and Speculoos Cookies would be Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter Cookies.

Speculoos Cookie Butter has the consistency of a nut butter, but it’s sweet with warm gingerbread type spices. I’ve found it at Trader Joe’s in the past. It comes in a jar and is delicious.

Just to clarify, she only mentioned that Speculoos cookies are served on St. Nicholas Day to give some cultural context for the pie's base and inspiration, not that this dessert is a Belgian or Dutch recipe.

Biscoff! 😁

This is maybe the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in a long long time, and I bake a lot. Smooth and creamy texture and so so delicious. Follow the recipe exactly and you will not be disappointed.

Trader Joe’s has the butter and the cookies.

You don’t say where or how you make the cookie butter? I’ve never heard of it.

I think the nutritional info (336 calories) is way off. I calculate 551 cal without the extra cream topping, or 612 cal with the extra topping. I think EDAMAM doesn't recognize either the cookies or the cookie spread because if I leave these two items out I also calculate around 336 cal (331).

Biscoff is speculoos flavor. You can buy Biscoff anywhere (not just Trader Joe's) and Biscoff sells multiple types of cookies and cookie butter. Save yourself the hassle of going to Trader Joes and just go to your local supermarket to pick up Biscoff Cookies and cookie butter for this recipe instead.

I have made this many times and I will make it many more times. EVERYONE loves it!Step 5 truly only takes 30 seconds to a minute - I have overwhipped before and the texture just isn't the same! Also increased the butter by a tablespoon or two to prevent crust crumbling which really helped.

I used mascarpone and Roland Speculoos Cookie Butter (Amazon). I also reduced the confectioners sugar by 1/4 cup. It was a big hit!

This is tasty, simple and comes together quickly and a fun alternative to something like a peanut butter pie. My 15YO, who only knows biscoff cookies as airplane snacks, said that this was "really good for something based on airline food." LOL.

Made with biscoff cookies and cookie butter. Used a whole sleeve for the crust with and additional 2 tbsp butter. Used the whole jar of biscoff butter in the filling with no other alterations. Held up well and was delicious

This is basically a no-bake cookie butter cheesecake. I love cookie butter, and I love cheesecake, but it isn’t the best flavour combination imo. The tang from the cream cheese clashes with the spice of the cookie butter. Next time I’ll try making this with mascarpone instead. And as with most of Erin’s recipes, the sugar can definitely be reduced.

Skipped the sugar and, trust me on this, throw a generous amount of crushed cookies on top just before serving. This not a nuanced sophisticated dessert, more like a mouth party. Delicious!

skip the sugar in the filling! it’s a waste. plenty sweet already

Wondering if this would be good with a chocolate crumb crust?

Wondering why this is classified as a “pie” and not “cheesecake”. With the cream cheese, this reminds me much more of a no-bake cheesecake than a pie. I decided to make this recipe because I had a ton of Dutch speculaas cookies laying around and wanted to use them up. For the people commenting that the crust is flaky and falling apart, make sure to thoroughly chill the pie before serving.

Newer packages of Biscoff have 32 cookies as I just discovered this morning when making the crust. Perfect for the crust and a sprinkling of crushed cookies across the top of the finished pie. It's attractive and keeps plastic food wrap from sticking.

I used De Ruiter Speculaas and Roland Foods Speculoos Cookie Butter (both Amazon) opposed to Trader Joe's or Biscoff. I find getting imported products much better than other options. Made many mistakes- didn't have food processor- used potato masher to make crust but found my cookies and butter ration (per recipe) were perfect. The only adjustment I'd make in future is cutting sugar. Wow it's sweet!!! Dutch in-laws loved it but also thought turning volume down on sugar might be good.

Biscoff also makes a cookie butter

Great recipe. Just cut the amount of powdered sugar in half, though. Really good with the whipped cream and crumbled cookies on top.

I made this and it turned out beautifully! I changed the cream cheese out for mascarpone and added only 1 cup of sugar.

Reduced sugar to 90g and probably will reduce further for subsequent bakes
