Learn how to make the best cookie butter pie with only 5 ingredients, minimal baking and a creamy no bake filling. Packed with Biscoff (or your choice of cookie butter spread) and cream cheese, every bite is rich with a deep, satisfying cookie butter flavor.
(Looking for more cookie butter desserts? Make some Biscoff blondies, a Biscoff cheesecake or a Biscoff layer cake with Biscoff frosting. And yes, you can use Speculoos too!)
I love making no-bake pies and tarts like white chocolate raspberry tart and no bake pineapple coconut cream pie.
This no-bake biscoff pie is especially popular around the holidays, a delicious alternative to traditional pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. It’s a family favorite!
Rich but no too sweet, easy to make, stunning to look at, delicious.
Let’s get to it.
- Minimal baking — we only bake the cookie pie crust to ensure it sets, and only for 5-7 minutes. If you want to get rid of baking altogether, however, you can use a ready-made graham cracker crust.
- Creamy filling — made with cookie butter spread, cream cheese and whipped cream, the pie filling is smooth and velvety.
- Feeds a crowd — this pie is very rich and a little goes a long way. Perfect to serve at your get-togethers!
- Make ahead — what’s more, you can make it ahead so spend more time entertaining vs. being cooped up in the kitchen.
This recipe is simple and straightforward but looks like you spent all day making it.
Ingredients
You’ll only need 5 ingredients (you can find the full ingredient list with measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of this page):
For the cookie butter pie crust
- Cookie butter cookies or biscuits — you can use any brand of cookie butter cookies you like: Speculoos or Biscoff. Alternatively, you can also substitute with graham crackers and even Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Butter — I default to unsalted butter in baking but you can use salted butter if that’s what available.
For the pie filling:
- Creamy cookie butter spread — again, you can use any brand of cookie butter you like. The important thing is to buy the creamy kind, not the crunchy variety.
- Cream cheese — you’ll need the cream cheese available in blocks and not those for spreading. And for best results, buy full-fat.
- Heavy cream — this is called differently in different countries but typically it’s cream that has milk fat content between 36 and 40%. You can substitute with whipping cream (35%) if heavy cream is not available.
Tools
You’ll need a mixer and a 9-inch pie dish.
A food processor will also be handy when crushing the biscuits, but you can also do this by putting them in a Ziploc bag and manually crushing them using a rolling pin.
Step-by-step photos
Preheat oven to 350F. Crush the cookie butter cookies and combine the crumbs with melted butter.
Stir until the mixture is evenly moist.
Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Press to the bottom and a little up the sides.
Bake for 5-7 minutes or until set. Take out of the oven and cool completely.
Using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cookie butter and cream cheese until well combined (about 2 minutes on medium-high).
Remember to scrape the bottom and sides of your bowl.
Add whipped cream.
Fold a little at a time…
… until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Pour into your pie dish and smooth out the top. Chill until set, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Sprinkle cookie butter crumbs and decorate as desired. Serve with whipped cream.
Expert tips
Easy, right? Here are more tips for perfect no bake cookie butter pie every time.
- Ensure your cream cheese and cookie butter spread are room temperature. This make them easier to mix and incorporate.
- Make sure to crush your cookie butter cookies until no big chunks remain. And bake until firm to ensure your pie crust doesn’t crumble and break apart.
- To ensure your pie filling sets, ensure your heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks. Also, allow enough time for your pie to chill in the fridge, ideally overnight.
- Note that there is no added sugar in this recipe. We find it unnecessary. If you want it sweeter though, taste the mixture and sweeten to taste.
- You can serve this straight out of the fridge when it’s firmer and colder, or slightly room temperature when it’s softer. Either way, it’ll be delicious.
Recipe FAQs
You can substitute with peanut butter or any nut butter.
There are so many ways to make this recipe your own:
– Top with chopped nuts or chocolate chips; you can even add them to the filling for some texture.
– Cover the top with chocolate ganache. Or drizzle with chocolate syrup. Or more Biscoff (simply heat in the microwave to soften it).
– White chocolate goes so well with cookie butter, too.
– Add chopped pretzels to your crust.
– And so much more!
Keep leftovers covered in the fridge. They should keep up to 3 days.
You technically can, though I don’t like freezing the pie because I find the texture changes after thawing.
If you have to freeze it, however, simply cover the pie, then thaw in the fridge the night before serving. A frozen pie should keep for at least a month.
You can top each slice with whipped cream and cookie butter biscuits. You can also choose to drizzle them with melted cookie butter spread.

Speculoos cookie butter pie (or Biscoff cookie butter pie) is very rich so we can really only eat a small slice at a time… but find ourselves wanting mini slices several times a day. It’s really quite addicting. You’ve been warned lol.

Liz
Ahhhhhhh okay I LOVE how this looks! I’m beyond addicted to cookie butter. Every time I go to Trader Joe’s I also act like the zombie are coming and get about six jars. And this looks dangerously easy to make….in fact I may be emailing it to Ross in another tab at this very moment because I know he’ll love it too. I’ll report back after we try it!
Jolina
Haha so it’s not just us then! Did you hear about that time when they limited the sale of cookie butters to 2 jars per person in some stores? Ah good times 🙂 And yes, it’s so easy Liz! And addicting. Beware! LOL!
Tiffany VanSickle

Amazing! Sometimes you just don’t want to be waiting ages for a cake to bake in the oven and sometimes it’s just too hot to do it. Definitely trying this recipe out!

Me-An Clemente
I wonder what it will be if it doesn’t involve any baking at all as you mentioned that it’s not completely no-bake. You baked it for a few minutes to set. We don’t have an oven so no bake recipes really appeal to me. I would love to try this recipe in the future when I get the time. It looks really delicious.
Jolina
Hi Me-An! I’m sure it will be fine. You can buy a ready made 9-inch pie crust (graham or Oreo would work) so that you don’t need to make your own. Then just do the filling and you’re done – without the oven at all 🙂 Would love to hear how it goes!
Megan
Your creations are seriously making my mouth water. This looks amazing, and I’m lusting after your peach icebox pie!
Jolina
Aw thanks a lot Megan! My job is done haha 🙂
Courtney
Omg I have to make this for my hubby!!! He’s peanut butter pie obsessed!
Jolina
Hi CourtneyLynne! You can definitely sub peanut butter for the cookie butter 🙂 I do recommend trying cookie butter though, it’s pretty awesome 🙂
