Ingredients
- 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 25 cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie spread
Equipment Needed
- 9-inch pie dish
- Food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Spatula
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
Start by crushing your Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes on high speed. Be careful not to overmix, or you’ll end up with butter! Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Biscoff cookie spread, mixing until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
Step 4: Combine and Fill
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set. Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream, Biscoff cookies, or a drizzle of Biscoff spread for extra flair.
Tips and Tricks
For an even more decadent pie, try lightly toasting the Biscoff crumbs before mixing them with butter for the crust. This enhances their flavor and adds a deeper color. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought whipped topping instead of making your own, though the texture and taste will be slightly different. For a smoother filling, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a layer of melted chocolate on top of the crust before adding the filling for a chocolatey twist.
Recipe Variations
- Chocolate Biscoff Pie: Add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate to the filling mixture for a chocolatey version.
- Biscoff Cheesecake Pie: Increase the cream cheese to 16 oz and reduce the heavy cream to 1 cup for a denser, cheesecake-like texture.
- Vegan Biscoff Pie: Use vegan cream cheese, coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and vegan butter to make this dessert plant-based.
- Mini Biscoff Pies: Use a muffin tin to make individual servings, perfect for parties.
- Biscoff Banana Pie: Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the crust before adding the filling for a fruity twist.
