Why You’ll Love It

• This dessert is so delicious it’s good enough to be served for a birthday celebration and holiday gatherings.
• This make-ahead frozen dessert is perfect for summer or year round with its rich layers of chocolate ganache, silky smooth ice cream, and crunchy cookie crumbs. Add it to your dinner party menu and I promise your guests will be singing your praises.
• Make it as a no-bake dessert using a prepared cookie crumb crust, or add it to a frozen pie pastry crust that’s been pre-cooked.

What does cookie butter taste like?

Cookie butter tastes amazing! It tastes exactly like the Speculoos cookies that may be sold under the brand, Biscoff.

• Trader Joe’s also has their own label of cookie butter, which tastes terrific.
• Speculoos are crunchy, spice biscuits from the Netherlands and Belgium. The flavor is similar to ginger snap cookies, but with more of a shortbread texture.
• The texture of the spread is like that of peanut butter so it makes a nice substitute for a number of recipes that call for peanut butter. 
• It can also be used for dessert cheese balls, in milkshakes, spread on toast, swirled into brownies, or on these marshmallow cracker snacks. 

Ingredients

Using a deep dish pie crust ensures you’re pie is deep enough to hold the ingredients. And the pastry crust adds balance to the sweetness.

• Deep dish pie crust. I used a frozen shell that I prebaked here, but you can use a prepared cookie crust for a no-bake easy recipe. Try it with Graham Cracker crust, Oreo cookie crust, or Vanilla Wafer crust.
• Chocolate for melting. Use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or bits.
• Heavy whipping cream.
• Vanilla ice cream. Use a good premium quality ice cream. I like Breyers for this,
• Biscoff spread or Cookie Butter. 
• Cool Whip.
• Biscoff speculoos cookies. These are for garnish as you crumble them on top or serve on the side.

How to make cookie butter pie

1. Cook frozen pie crust according to package directions, and let cool completely.
2. Melt chocolate and whipping cream together in a double boiler on low heat, stirring occasionally to combine. Pour it into the cooled crust.
3. Spread the mixture evenly to cover the bottom of crust, and refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set.
4. Meanwhile, place ice cream into a large bowl and let soften at room temperature. Add Biscoff spread and combine well.
5. Pour ice cream mixture into the pie shell and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
6. Add whipped cream to top of pie and sprinkle with Biscoff cookie crumbs to garnish.
