No Bake Cookie Butter Cheesecake Recipe

Introduction

This No Bake Cookie Butter Cheesecake is a luscious, creamy dessert that comes together effortlessly. With the rich flavor of cookie butter and a smooth cream cheese base, it’s perfect for any occasion without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup cookie butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 pie crust

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cold heavy cream on low speed, gradually increasing until soft peaks form.
2. Step 2: Add ½ cup powdered sugar at a time on low speed, mixing until just incorporated. Then add the cookie butter and softened cream cheese, beating on medium-low speed until smooth.
3. Step 3: Using a spatula, scoop the batter into the pie crust and smooth the top. For an optional garnish, sprinkle crushed Speculoos cookies over the cheesecake.
4. Step 4: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to set.

Tips & Variations

• For a crunchier crust, try using a graham cracker or ginger snap base instead of a traditional pie crust.
• If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the powdered sugar by ¼ cup.
• To add a touch of spice, mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg with the cookie butter.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-chill before serving if the filling softens. Do not freeze, as the texture may change upon thawing.

FAQs

Can I use a store-bought pie crust?

Yes, a pre-made pie crust works well and saves time. Just be sure to blind bake it slightly if desired, or use a no-bake crust for convenience.

What if I don’t have cookie butter?

You can substitute peanut butter or almond butter for a different but delicious twist, though it will alter the classic flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling

• 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup cookie butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)

Crust

• 1 pie crust (pre-made or homemade)

Optional Garnish

• Crushed Speculoos cookies

Instructions

1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cold heavy cream starting on low speed. Gradually increase the speed until soft peaks form, ensuring the cream is airy and light.
2. Add Powdered Sugar and Mix: Slowly add ½ cup of powdered sugar at a time to the whipped cream on low speed, incorporating it carefully to maintain the fluffy texture without deflating the cream.
3. Combine Cookie Butter and Cream Cheese: Add the cookie butter and softened cream cheese to the mixture. Beat on medium-low speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, resulting in a creamy, well-blended filling.
4. Fill the Crust: Use a spatula to scoop the cheesecake batter into the pie crust. Smooth the top evenly for a polished look. For extra flavor and crunch, optionally sprinkle crushed Speculoos cookies on top.
5. Chill and Set: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the cheesecake to firm up and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
• Cold heavy cream whips better, so keep it refrigerated until use.
• This cheesecake is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust and gluten-free cookie butter if available.
• Garnish creatively with crushed Speculoos cookies, caramel drizzle, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
