Cookie Butter, also known as speculoos spread, is made from crushed spiced biscuits (speculoos cookies). It has a flavor reminiscent of caramelized gingerbread with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. This Cookie Butter Pie combines the irresistible flavors of cookie butter and creaminess in a delightful pie form. It begins with a crust made from crushed Biscoff cookies mixed with melted butter, forming a crunchy and sweetly spicy base. The filling is a velvety blend of cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, Cool Whip, and the star of the show - cookie butter. The creamy cookie butter filling is spread generously over the crust and allowed to set in the refrigerator. Once chilled, your Cookie Butter Pie can be garnished with whipped cream, cookie crumbs, and a drizzle of more cookie butter for an extra indulgence.
Optional garnish, whipped cream and crushed cookies
