Creamy Cookie Butter Pie

I could bathe in cookie butter OR in this cookie butter pie really. It’s just so wonderful.

The pie is almost no bake except for that pesky crust but it’s totally worth it if you’re a speculoos lover like yours truly. I don’t mind running the oven even in the summer, but people like my parents freak out at the very thought of it. If you’re one of those, take comfort in knowing that it’s only 9 minutes.

I was requested to make this pie by my hubby. He actually requested a dessert, which is so, so rare. I’m always pumping out recipes so he just eats what I make. He’s such a trooper.

I’ve never made it before, but it’s similar to my dark chocolate peanut butter pie recipe which is an adapted version of my mom’s peanut butter pie recipe that I’ve yet to post on my blog. I will eventually, I just have so many other ideas that I haven’t gotten to it. So what I’m saying is, thanks Wesley for the brilliant idea. I dig it a lot.

Instructions

1. Crust
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
3. Add the speculoos cookies to a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms. You can also place them in a storage bag and use a rolling pin.
4. In a medium bowl, add the speculoos cookie crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
5. Pour the melted butter into the crumb mixture and stir until the crumbs reach a wet sand consistency. It should hold its shape.
6. Press the crumbs into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake for 9 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven. If the crust has puffed up and slid down the sides of the pan, use a spoon to press it back up while it is still very hot. Let the crust cool.
8. Filling
9. In a bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside.
10. In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, smooth cookie butter, and butter. Beat on medium/high until light and fluffy.
11. Add the sugar and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.
12. Add a quarter of the whipped cream and fold it into the cookie butter mixture.
13. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold it in.
14. Spread the mixture into the cooled cookie crust.
15. Garnish
16. Add the heavy cream to a bowl. Whip on medium speed until it forms soft peaks.
17. Add the powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
18. Place the whipped cream in a piping bag with a 1M tip. Set aside.
19. Add the cookie butter to a sandwich bag. Microwave for 30 seconds until it reaches a drizzle consistency.
20. Cut a small corner out of one side of the sandwich bag. Drizzle the cookie butter over the pie.
21. Pipe whipped cream swirls on the outside of the pie.
22. Chill for at least 2 hours. Cut and serve.
23. If there are leftovers, place 4 to 5 toothpicks towards the outside of the pie and one in the center. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate.

Notes

• For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the crust.
• If your cookie butter is very thick, gently warm it in the microwave for a few seconds before adding to the filling.
• Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The toothpicks prevent the plastic wrap from sticking to the whipped cream.
