This week, some crazy hot weather inspired me to whip up some No-Bake Speculoos Pie. Sweet Speculoos (Biscoff) spread folded into a light, fluffy no-bake pie. This easy cookie butter pie takes just 20 minutes to make!
My apartment is near a very busy street with six lanes of traffic. It's a typical city spot where the sound of motorbikes roaring past in the morning drowns out most everything and the foot traffic is usually local people headed to and from work. Yesterday I passed a cluster of people who looked like they were on safari. They wore vests, khaki pants loaded with pockets and canvas hats. They were clustered together when I approached, but when I got closer I noticed that one was looking off in the distance through binoculars. Another was holding a book titled "Birds of Thailand". Bird watching in downtown Bangkok? Who knew it was even possible?
For the sake of the bird watchers, I could only hope that they were headed out of Bangkok for the rest of their exploration of Birds of Thailand. It's so darn hot here this week that I imagine even the birds have fled to cooler regions. This week I was very thankful for workouts in our building's chilly pool, air conditioning on public transportation and recipes that didn't require any element of heat. Fortunately, I had a very fun baking project in mind for this very special treat.
I realize that I am late to the Cookie Butter / Speculoos /Biscoff Spread party. If you, like me, have not yet tried this stuff, I implore you to track some down. It is rich, creamy, concentrated cookie, and so unlike anything I've ever tried. Spiced cookies with the creamy texture of peanut butter. What could be better?
It was a perfect week to make this no-bake pie that comes out of the refrigerator nice and cool. There are many versions of Speculoos Pie aka Cookie Butter Pie floating around, but I tailored this one to be extra simple and not overly sweet. What comes through is the flavor of the cookie butter - just a hint of spice and a nice creaminess.
Make this cookie butter pie and enjoy a tasty treat without ever turning on your oven.

yow mama that looks good! Amazing pictures, too friend!
Jess
It was dangerously good, Dana! Probably a good thing that that speculoos butter is hard to come by here! 😉
Averie @ Averie Cooks
Thanks for linking up to my post and wow, this looks amazing! Totally pinning this and I want to dig in. That teeth mark shot. Omg. And no-bake. I need this!
Jess
Averie - thanks, as always, for all the inspiration! Now that my T-Joe's cookie butter is gone, I can't wait to try your homemade version.

How could it be that I have not heard of or tried this cookie butter?! I think a trip to Trader Joe's may be in my immediate future... Thanks for the tip, foodie friend! xo

How did you know that speculoos was my ultimate weakness?!
Debra
I found some Biscoff cookies at T.J. Max a while back. I have to say, they were good, but I wasn't overly impressed. That said, your pie has me wondering if I can find the spread anywhere close by. It looks delicious.
Jess
Really, Debra? I like the cookies, but I can't say that I love them. However, the spread is an entirely different thing, so it might be worth a try! If you track some down, I'll be curious to know what you think!

I've never seen cookie butter in Stockholm, which I am in a way kind of glad about. I'm afraid of what might happen if I got my hands on a jar! But we're heading to the Netherlands this weekend, where I definitely have seen it before. Last time we were there I had a jar in my hand and almost bought it but then realized at the last second that that it wouldn't make it back in my carry on luggage. This time I'm checking a bag, so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled!
Jess
Katie - I would agree that it's fortunate I can't get my hands on this stuff all the time. It was so dangerous that I had to bake something with it or risk eating it all with a spoon. Definitely pick some up though if you see it - it's totally worth the splurge. Can't wait to see pictures from the Netherlands!
Ashley
A no-bake pie with cookie butter? I need this in my life! haha I have a little problem with hoarding jars of the trader joes kind.... on my last trip I bought a jar of their crunchy cookie butter. First time I've seen it so I obviously have to try it : )
Jess
Ashley, I had no idea how addictive this stuff could be! Now I can imagine collecting jars of it! And there's a crunchy version?? Oh my - that's going on my list for my next trip home, for sure!!!
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com
Oh my gasp! I need this so I'm pinning it 😉
Mel Tanner
You can get Biscoff spread at Target, or if you live near one, Kroger. Target is more reasonably priced. The spread is addictive!
Jess
It's SO addictive, Mel, and so much fun to bake with. Thanks for the great tips!
Jodi
Thank you so much for this recipe! I had a jar of speculoos sitting around the house so I decided to make a pie out of it. Although I did tweak the recipe a bit, and added a tablespoon of hazelnut-chocolate spread and hazelnut syrup, which made it a little darker but tastier! Really good!
Priscilla
You can also get Biscoff Speculoos butter at Shop-Rite grocery stores next to the peanut butters 🙂
Ariane
I made this last night and ate some today. WOW!!!!! So easy and quick......NO fuss. Love it. I am fortunate to live in Belgium and they sell this cookie butter everywhere. They call it 'speculoospasta' or 'speculaaspasta.' I remember the first time I tried it I was hooked. I used speculoos cookies for the crust. My Flemish husband LOVES the pie as well.
Thank you Jess!!!!!
Jess
Thanks so much for your note Ariane, and I'm so glad you liked the pie! It's so simple, I know I'll be making it all the time when I'm back in the land of speculoos again - I'm a bit envious that you can find the tasty stuff so easily! (And that you live in Belgium - what a beautiful country.)
Jane
I made this last week with regular Cookie Butter, and it was SO good that I've just made it again using Trader Joe's cookie butter-cocoa spread blend as a birthday present for a friend. Kind of mad I won't get any of it myself! Thank you for the quick, easy and delicious recipe.
Jess
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and let me know, Jane! I'm glad you liked it, and I'm definitely going to have to try it with that cookie butter-cocoa combo - yum!
