Cookie Butter Cheesecake is a fun variation of Peanut Butter Cheesecake, on an incredible cookie crust. It’s a quick and easy no bake dessert with a creamy texture and delicious crunch!

I love a delicious dessert, and I love them even more when I don’t have to turn my oven on right now! A fast and fabulous no bake dessert is always the answer during these hot summer days, and this cookie butter cheesecake is no exception.

Cookie butter is a spread, with the consistency of peanut butter, made from crushed speculoos cookies. Speculoos are spiced cookies, similar to gingerbread, with a shortbread-like buttery flavor.

When pulverized, magic happens… turning them into an amazing spread.

It’s marvelous in just about everything – check out our Cookie Butter Ice Cream, Cookie Butter Cake, and Cookie Butter Bars.

It’s luxuriously creamy and incredibly dreamy. The flavor and texture are out of this world, especially when paired with a No Bake Speculoos Cookie Crust for added crunch!

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Heavy Cream – Heavy whipping cream provides the soft and luscious texture that makes this cheesecake recipe so dreamy. For best results, make sure your heavy cream is cold prior to whipping.
  • Powdered Sugar – Also known as confectioner’s sugar, it adds to the creamy texture. It dissolves into the whipped cream adding a touch of sweetness. If you don’t have any on hand, learn how to make powdered sugar here.
  • Cookie Butter – I buy cookie butter at Trader Joe’s but you can find it in other stores, too. I like the creamy version for this cheesecake (there’s a crunchy version available too, but not the right choice for this cheesecake!)
  • Cream Cheese – Make sure your cream cheese is softened for a smooth consistency.
  • Speculoos Cookie Crust – It’s so easy and makes the perfect pairing for Cookie Butter Cheesecake. Alternatively,  you can substitute Sugar Cookie Crust Pretzel Crust or Shortbread Crust! You can also use a store bought pie crust from the baking department of your local grocer.

    1. Hi Jessica,
      We’ve never tested that as a substitution, but I don’t think it would give you the same creamy, decadent texture!
      Hope you enjoy,
      Julie
