Growing up, weekends were about comfort, family, and grand desserts. My grandmother had a knack for creating stunning pies effortlessly, and her secret was always in choosing fresh ingredients. Inspired by her no-bake pies, this recipe is a tribute to her culinary wisdom while adding the contemporary twist of Biscoff cookies, which my children simply adore.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This no-bake Biscoff cream pie is a triumph for several reasons. It’s not just about the taste; it’s about convenience and versatility. This recipe requires minimal ingredients and less than 20 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect when you’re short on time but still want to impress. Plus, it’s a hit among adults and kids, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings or parties.
Ingredients Notes
The beauty of this dessert lies in its simplicity and flexibility. For the crust, Biscoff cookies provide a unique spiced base that complements the creaminess perfectly. If you can’t find Biscoff, graham crackers are a suitable substitute. Cream cheese and whipped cream create a luscious, cloud-like filling. Always opt for full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Start by crushing the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 2
Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of your pie pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy.

Step 4
Fold in the whipped cream gently until the filling is well mixed, light, and fluffy. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want to keep the air whipped into the cream.
Step 5
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours, or until firm. Decorate with additional whipped cream or Biscoff cookies before serving.
Storage Options
To store your leftover pie, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer slices to airtight containers. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to five days. To freeze, wrap slices in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Variations & Substitutions
For those with dietary restrictions, consider swapping the cream cheese with a lactose-free alternative. You can also enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling or swirling in some caramel sauce. For a twist, try using crushed ginger snaps as the crust base or incorporate a layer of dark chocolate ganache beneath the cream filling.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is a hit at barbecues and holiday gatherings and is delightful year-round. Serve it with a hot cup of coffee or a dollop of extra whipped cream for a lavish treat. It’s quick enough for a weeknight dessert but decadent enough for special occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought pie crust? Yes, if you’re in a pinch, a store-bought graham cracker crust will do nicely. However, using crushed Biscoff cookies for the crust really enhances the overall flavor profile of the pie.
Is there a dairy-free version of this recipe? Absolutely. Replace the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative like almond-based cream cheese. Use coconut cream instead of whipped cream for the filling to keep it luscious while accommodating dietary needs.
