Directions
Step 1
Cookie butter pie makes every moment feel indulgent. In a medium bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to create the crust. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and creamy.
Step 3
Gently fold in the melted Biscoff cookie butter into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Pour the cookie butter filling into the prepared cookie crust, spreading evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
Step 5
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and additional Biscoff cookies, if desired. Slice and enjoy this creamy, no-bake cookie butter pie!
Variations, pairings, and serving ideas
Variations
For a chocolate twist, add a layer of melted chocolate to the bottom of the crust before adding the filling. This will create a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. You could also swirl some melted chocolate into the cookie butter filling for a marbled effect.
If you’re a fan of nuts, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the crust or sprinkling them on top of the pie. The nutty flavor will complement the sweetness of the Biscoff cookie butter. You could also mix the nuts into the filling for added texture.
For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. This will lower the calorie count without sacrificing too much of the flavor. You can also use a graham cracker crust for a different flavor profile.
Pairings
This cookie butter pie is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with a variety of other treats. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic combination. The cold ice cream will contrast nicely with the rich pie.
A cup of hot coffee or tea is the perfect accompaniment to this decadent dessert. The warmth of the beverage will enhance the flavors of the pie. Consider trying a spiced chai tea for an extra layer of flavor.

Serving ideas
For an elegant presentation, garnish the pie with a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of melted Biscoff cookie butter. This will add visual appeal and enhance the flavor. You can also create a decorative pattern with whipped cream.
Serve the pie chilled on a pretty dessert plate with a fork or spoon. A simple presentation is often the most effective. Add a sprig of mint for a pop of color.
Cut the pie into even slices and arrange them artfully on a platter. This is especially nice when serving a crowd. Consider adding fresh berries to the platter for a colorful touch.

Storage and make-ahead tips
Storage
Store leftover cookie butter pie in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. This will prevent it from drying out or absorbing any odors from the refrigerator. The pie will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, you can freeze the pie. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
If you’re freezing individual slices, wrap them separately to prevent them from sticking together. This will make it easier to grab a single serving whenever you want one.
Make-ahead
You can easily make this cookie butter pie ahead of time. In fact, it’s best to make it at least 4 hours in advance to allow it to set properly. You can even make it the day before serving.
If you’re short on time, you can buy a pre-made cookie crust instead of making your own. This will save you a few minutes of prep time. Just make sure to choose a crust that complements the flavor of the cookie butter filling.
Prepare all the components of the pie separately and assemble it just before serving. This will ensure that the crust stays crisp and the filling stays fresh.
Common mistakes when making Cookie Butter Pie
- Not softening the cream cheese: If the cream cheese is not softened properly, it will be difficult to mix and will result in a lumpy filling. Make sure to leave the cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using it.
- Overmixing the filling: Overmixing the filling can cause it to become too thin. Gently fold in the cookie butter until it is just combined.
- Not refrigerating the pie long enough: The pie needs to be refrigerated for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly. If you don’t refrigerate it long enough, it will be too soft and difficult to slice.
- Using too much cookie butter: Adding too much cookie butter can make the filling too sweet and overwhelming. Stick to the amount specified in the recipe.
- Skipping the crust chilling step: Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps it to set and prevents it from becoming soggy.
Final notes
This cookie butter pie is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, perfect for any occasion. Its creamy texture and intense cookie butter flavor will leave everyone wanting more. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different toppings and variations to make it your own.
Remember to allow ample time for the pie to set in the refrigerator, as this is crucial for achieving the perfect consistency. With just a few simple steps, you can create a truly unforgettable dessert that will impress your friends and family. So, go ahead and give this cookie butter pie recipe a try and enjoy every delicious bite!
