Cookie Butter Chess Pie
Are you familiar with chess pies? Chess pie’s texture is similar to the goo found in pecan pies or like underbaked brownies. It’s thick, sweet, and smooth with a slightly crisp top. I have shared chocolate chess pie, Apple Chess Pie with Streusel Top, and lemon chess pie. Also, Buttermilk pie and Sugar pie are similar to chess pie.

🤔What is cookie butter?
Cookie butter is a spread made from Belgian cookies. It’s smooth and creamy like peanut butter but doesn’t contain nuts. Flour, sugar, fat, and cookie crumbs are combined to form a paste.
The most common brands you’ll see for cookie butter are Biscoff and Specaloos. Specaloos is Trader Joe’s brand. You can get Biscoff at Walmart, Target, and almost any major grocery store, or linked below at Amazon.

Cooking tips and substitutions
You’ll need to allow time for the Cookie
Cookie
Warm each slice for a few seconds in the microwave and add a small spoonful of whipped cream, cookie butter ice cream, or vanilla ice cream on top. It softens the filling slightly and gives each bite a smooth finish. Ice cream or whipped cream also helps balance the richness.
You can also substitute peanut
Bake until the center is set but still slightly soft; it firms up as it cools.
Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother filling.
If Cookie
A pre-made pie crust saves time, or you can make your own. I like this Never Fail Pie Crust and this Coconut Oil Pie Crust.
Make sure the filling is well mixed before pouring it into the crust to help it bake evenly and set to a creamy texture.
PMc says:
We like to serve this pie slightly warm with a small spoon of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted cookie
