Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 prepared pie crust (Speculoos cookie crust or graham cracker crust)
Speculoos Cookie Crust
- Approximately 200g Speculoos cookies (about 2 cups crushed)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with whisk attachment, pour the cold heavy cream and start beating on low speed. Gradually increase the speed until soft peaks form, which means the cream holds peaks but is still smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and mix: Add powdered sugar gradually, about ½ cup at a time, mixing on low speed to incorporate it fully without deflating the whipped cream.
- Add cookie butter and cream cheese: Add the cookie butter and softened cream cheese to the whipped cream mixture. Beat on medium-low speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and combined well with no lumps.
- Prepare the crust (if making): Crush Speculoos cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a mallet. Add melted unsalted butter and sugars, and mix until combined. Press the mixture evenly into a greased pie dish. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Using a spatula, transfer the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly. Optionally, garnish with crushed Speculoos cookies for added texture and decoration.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results.
- Do not substitute organic powdered sugar, as it can alter the texture.
- For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in warm water before cutting and wipe clean between slices.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze covered tightly for up to one month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
