Biscoff Pie

Iโ€™ve been wanting a Biscoff dessert that sits somewhere between a cheesecake and a pieโ€”something creamy, sliceable, and a little easier to pull together. This is the version I came up with and itโ€™s so good! It has that rich, smooth filling you expect from a cheesecake, but baked into a Biscoff cookie crust and finished with a simple cookie butter topping. Itโ€™s straightforward, but still feels like something special.

Why I love this pie

This is one of those desserts that looks more involved than it actually is.

  • The filling is smooth, creamy, and easy to make, similar to my Eggnog Pie and Coconut Cream Pie
  • The Biscoff flavor comes through clearly without being overwhelming
  • It bakes gently and sets up beautifully in the fridge
  • The cookie butter topping adds just enough richness, as it does with my Biscoff Cheesecake and Biscoff Cake
  • Works well for make-ahead desserts

Key ingredients & why I use them

Cream cheese: This is the base of the filling. I always use block-style cream cheese for the best texture.

Brown sugar: Adds a deeper flavor that works really well with Biscoff.

Biscoff cookie butter: This is where all the flavor comes from. I use creamy for a smooth filling.

Sour cream: Helps loosen the filling slightly and keeps it from feeling too dense.

Eggs: Give structure to the pie. I mix them in gently so the texture stays smooth.

Biscoff cookie crust: This ties everything together. It adds texture and reinforces the flavor throughout.

How to make this pie

Pies like this can be a little tricky to set, so follow my detailed instructions to get you going in the right direction. Full ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post in the recipe card.

Step 1: Prepare the crust

Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (160ยฐC).

Make this Biscoff cookie crust according to the recipe and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your pan. I donโ€™t grease the pan hereโ€”the butter in the crust is enough.

Bake the crust as per the recipe instructions, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Start the filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese for about 1 minute until smooth.

Add the brown sugar and mix for 2โ€“3 minutes, until creamy and fully combined.

Add the Biscoff cookie butter and mix again.

Step 4: Add the sour cream

Then add the sour cream and mix until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.

Step 5: Add the eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. With the second egg, add the vanilla and salt.

At this stage, Iโ€™m careful not to overmixโ€”just enough to bring everything together. This helps prevent cracks and keeps the texture silky.

Step 6: Bake

Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Bake for 40โ€“50 minutes, until the edges are set, but the center still has a slight jiggle.

Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and leave the pie inside for 20 minutes. This helps it cool gradually and keeps the texture smooth.

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight. This step really mattersโ€”the pie needs time to fully set.

Before serving, pour melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top and spread it gently.

Sprinkle with Biscoff cookie crumbs. Slice and serve chilled or slightly softened.

Expert tips

A few small things make a big difference here:

  • Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing
  • Mix the eggs on low speed to avoid adding too much air
  • Donโ€™t overbakeโ€”the center should still jiggle slightly
  • Let it chill fully before slicing for clean cuts

If the texture ever feels off, itโ€™s usually from overmixing or under-chilling.

Storage / Make ahead

I usually make this a day ahead. Store it in the fridge for up to 4โ€“5 days. Keep it covered so it doesnโ€™t dry out. You can also freeze it (without the topping) for up to 1 month and thaw in the fridge.

Variations

I keep this version simple, but here are a few ways I change it:

  • Add a thin layer of chocolate ganache or chocolate frosting under the topping
  • Swirl extra Biscoff into the filling before baking
  • Use a graham crust for a lighter flavor
  • Turn it into mini cheesecakes using the same filling

FAQ

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, it actually works best when made the day before.

Why did my pie crack?

This is usually from overmixing the eggs or baking too long.

Can I use a different pan?

Yes, an 8-inch or 9-inch tart pan or a springform pan all work.

Can I substitute the sour cream?

Yes, full-fat yogurt works well.

More recipes you might like

If you like this pie, youโ€™ll probably also enjoy my Biscoff cheesecake for a more classic version, or my no-bake Biscoff cheesecake if you want something even easier. For something richer, my Biscoff chocolate cheesecake adds a deeper, more indulgent layer of flavor.

Final thoughts

This is one of those desserts that feels a little elevated but is actually very straightforward once you make it. If you try it, let me know how it turns out or tag me so I can see your version.
