Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups speculoos cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the speculoos cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles sandy crumbs that hold together when pressed.
- Chill the crust: Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set for 15 minutes.
- Make the filling base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add cookie butter: Blend the cookie butter into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a rich, flavorful filling.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form—this means when you lift the whisk, the peaks gently hold their shape but curl over slightly.
- Combine filling and cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture, taking care to maintain the light and airy texture.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the creamy filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Chill to set: Place the pie back in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press the crust firmly so it holds its shape when sliced.
- For a firmer crust, you can bake it for 5 minutes at 350°F before chilling, but this is optional.
- Use chilled heavy cream for easier whipping and better volume.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
