Ingredients Notes
The ingredients for this pie are not only easily accessible but also interchangeable based on availability and dietary preferences. We use Biscoff cookies for their unique spice and caramel flavor. For a crust variation, graham crackers can be substituted. The filling is a mix of Cream Cheese and condensed milk, both of which can be found in most groceries. Vegan cream cheese and condensed oat milk make great dairy-free alternatives for a vegan-friendly version. Remember to use a good quality vanilla extract to elevate the flavor profile of the pie.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Start by processing the Biscoff cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Melt butter in a microwave and mix it with the ground cookies to form the crust. Press this mixture into the bottom of a pie pan, ensuring it’s evenly spread and compacted. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 2
For the filling, beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add in Sweetened Condensed Milk, making sure to mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.
Step 3
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the Cream Cheese mixture, blending well. This enhances the flavor, giving your pie a professional touch while remaining simple.
Step 4
Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Don’t worry if the filling is slightly loose, as it will firm up in the freezer.
Step 5
Place the pie in the freezer for at least four hours, or until fully set. Before serving, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easy slicing.
Storage Options
To keep your frozen Biscoff pie fresh, store it in an airtight container in the freezer. This pie can remain delicious for up to two weeks, making it a great make-ahead dessert. If you have leftovers, cover the pie with foil or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
Variations & Substitutions
This delightful dessert can be tailored to fit different dietary needs. Substitute regular Cream Cheese and condensed milk with vegan alternatives for a plant-based version. For a nutritious twist, add a layer of sliced bananas or berries on top of the filling before freezing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie during summer picnics, as an elegant dessert for dinner parties, or a sweet finish to a cozy family meal. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla Ice Cream for an extra indulgent treat or a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon for a spicy kick.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cookie for the crust? Absolutely! While Biscoff cookies provide a unique flavor, graham crackers or even Oreo cookies make excellent substitutions if you prefer a different taste.
How long should the pie be set before serving? It’s essential to allow the pie to freeze for at least four hours to ensure it sets properly. For the best slice, consider leaving it to chill overnight. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to slightly soften.
What other toppings can I add to the pie? Get creative with your toppings! A drizzle of chocolate sauce, a sprinkle of crushed nuts, or Fresh Berries can add a delightful contrast in both flavor and texture to your pie.
