First is, don't they look just beautiful? And yes, that beauty also comes with yummy!
Let's get started, shall we?
Cookie Butter
Cookie butter is a similar concept to peanut butter but with entirely different ingredients.
It's a thick paste that's made from speculoos cookies, among other ingredients. And what is speculoos cookies, you might ask.
Well speculoos cookies are shortbread cookies that are infused with spices like nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves.. just to name a few.
The spice flavours in the cookies are really wonderful because they are not so strong. The flavours just lingers nicely in your mouth.
As for the brand, the famous one is Lotus Biscoff. That's the one that I'm using in this recipe today and also the one I used for my no-bake cookie butter cheesecake.
I Can't Find Cookie Butter, What Do I Do?
Well, this is a cookie butter dessert recipe so I would really suggest you try your hardest to find it.
But hey, if you can't find it.. no worries.
Just use your favourite biscuits or cookies for the crumbs. As for the filling, use your favourite nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter. Whatever works for you. Adjust the sweetness as you go.
The taste won't be the same of course, but hey.. something is something, right?

Speculoos Cheesecake Shots
Ingredients
The Base
- 3 oz speculoos biscuits (85 g)
The Filling
- 7 oz full fat cream cheese (200 g), room temperature
- ½ cup cookie butter (125 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup whipping cream, min 35% fat (80 ml), chilled
Topping
- some whipped cream
- some crushed speculoos biscuits
- some cookie butter , warm it slightly to make it runnier
Instructions
The Base
- Place biscuits in a bag and crush them into pieces using a rolling pin.
- Spoon around 3-4 teaspoon into 4 glasses. Set aside.
The Filling
- Add cream cheese into a bowl and using an electric mixer, whisk it until fluffy. Then add in cookie butter with vanilla extract and mix everything well. Set aside.
- In another bowl, add in whipping cream and whisk it until soft peaks. Add whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Divide evenly into the 4 glasses. I used a piping bag to make it easier. Chill in the fridge for minimum 2 hours.
