    Meet your new favorite pie base: this Biscoff Pie Crust is made with crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies and melted butter, no flour or sugar needed. Whether you press it and bake for crunch or simply chill for a no-bake version, you'll get buttery, spiced perfection that pairs beautifully with anything from cheesecake to pumpkin pie.

    speculoos cookie crust in a springform pan next to a blue linen on a light brown surface

    There are many options when it comes to picking a crust for a cheesecake or pie. Do you feel like a graham cracker crust, an Oreo crust, a flakey pie crust, a shortbread cookie crust? See where I am going? There are endless options, but one of my all-time favorites is for sure the Biscoff cookie crust. So much so that now when I eat a Biscoff biscuit I legit think of it as my cheesecake base.

    The flavors of the iconic biscuits give the base such a great flavor, plus a great crunch which I adore against a creamy filling!

    Gather the Goods: 2‑Ingredient Biscoff Crust

    You only need to things to make this crust:

    • Butter- I like to use salted butter but you can use unsalted butter if you want.
    • Biscoff Cookie Crumbs- you can also use Trader Joe's speculoos cookies! I love the warm spices of the cookies.

    I don't add sugar because these cookies are sweet enough on their own.

    Press the crumbs into the pan and tightly pack. Use the bottom of measuring cup to press the crust in tightly.

    If you need a pre-bake pie crust I suggest baking it at 350F/180C for 5-7 minutes. For a no-bake pie wrap the crust and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes before using.

    Meet your new favorite pie base: this Biscoff Pie Crust is made with crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies and melted butter, no flour or sugar needed. Whether you press it and bake for crunch or simply chill for a no-bake version, you'll get buttery, spiced perfection that pairs beautifully with anything from cheesecake to pumpkin pie. Ready in just 10-15 minutes!

    • Total Time: 18 minutes
    • Yield: 1-9 Inch Crust 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1-8.8oz/250 Grams Package of Biscoff Biscuits
    • 3.5oz (7 Tablespoons) Salted Butter, melted

    Instructions

    1. In a food processor add the biscuits and pulse until finely crushed. You can also add the cookies to a large plastic bag and use a rolling pin to hit them to crush them. 
    2. Next, add the melted butter and mix until all crumbs are evenly coated. The mixture should resemble wet sand. 
    3. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, I use my finger to start by pressing the crumbs up the sides of the dish then use the bottom of a measuring cup or a glass to help tightly pack the crust into the bottom. 
    4. If you need a pre-baked crust I suggest baking it at 350F/180C for 5-7 minutes. For a no-bake pie wrap the crust and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes before using.

      Hi want to use this for a vegan pumpkin pie... do I par bake the crust prior to putting in the filling and then bake the entire pie, or do I put the filling in the raw pie crust the way I would a dough crust?

      This recipe has too much butter. The butter from the crust leaked to the bottom of my stove, making it smokey in my kitchen. I agree with another comment that the recipe may need to be put in fridge prior to adding the mix and popping in the oven.

      It's my first time making this recipe and I am curious what happens to the crust if the butter leaked.

        Hi Dania, I don't have an issue with the butter and I have made this multiple times. I am so sorry you had an issue. Your pan might not be as tight, when baking in a springform pan I often bake it on a sheet pan in case there is any leakage. Take care. XX Liz

      Left the same comment on the cranberry cheesecake recipe. Too much butter! Normally I find crusts need 4-6 tablespoons of butter, but not a whole stick. My crust was left soggy and butter was leaking out.

      I made this crust in a springform pan for a cheesecake. The crust was very oily with a puddle of butter in the middle after baking for 8 min.
