How to make a biscoff cookie crust
Biscoff cookie crust is the perfect base for cheesecakes, pies, and tarts. This easy cookie crust recipe is versatile, with both no-bake and baked options for creating delicious desserts.
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 48 Biscoff cookies (1.5 of an 8.8oz package. Please see note 1 below)
- 10 tablespoons Melted salted butter
Instructions
- Transfer the cookies to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse till fine crumbs form. Based on what you want use the cookie crust for, proceed to the next steps.
No bake method
- Combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs with melted butter and mix until well combined. Line the springform pan with parchment paper.
- Transfer the butter and crumb mixture to the parchment paper lined springform pan.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of your pie dish or springform pan.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours or freeze for 10 to 15 mins to set. Then fill with your desired filling based on the recipe you are making.
Pre-bake method
- Follow the same steps as the no-bake method.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until it’s lightly golden and set.
- Let it cool completely before adding your filling.
Notes
- I used 1.5 packages (48 cookies) to make this thick crust. For a thinner crust, use 1 package of the 8.8 oz biscoff cookies (32 cookies) and 5 tablespoons of melted butter.
- To get fine Biscoff crumbs, use a food processor. If you don’t have one, seal the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass cup to press the crust firmly into your dish for an even, compact base.
- Chilling the dough is import for stability when making a no bake recipe. However, if you are using the baking method, allow the crust to cool down completely before adding your filling.
