Biscoff Ice Cream
Making homemade no-churn ice cream at home is such a special treat in the summer and this no-churn Biscoff ice cream recipe is no exception!

Biscoff, often recognized by its distinctive caramelized flavor, is a brand name for traditional Belgian speculoos cookies. These cookies are characterized by their crisp texture and a unique blend of spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg. Beyond the cookies themselves, the Biscoff name has also become synonymous with a popular cookie butter spread, made by grinding the cookies into a smooth, creamy texture, often used as a spread on bread, an ingredient in various desserts, or enjoyed straight from the jar.
This Biscoff ice cream is pretty perfect on its own, but if you want to go next level, add a scoop of it to warm apple crumble bars, apple galette, or double chocolate buckwheat brownies.

📋 Ingredients To Make Biscoff Ice Cream
Ingredient Notes
- Lotus Biscoff Cookies: These are often served on airplanes. They are lightly spiced crunchy cookies with an unmistakable caramelized flavor.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is not the same thing as evaporated milk so make sure to read the can before using.
- 35% Whipping Cream: This is sometimes called heavy cream.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter: Cookie butter is a smooth creamy dessert spread similar in texture to peanut butter. You can use it anywhere you use any nut butter or Nutella.
It’s important to note when making substitutions in recipes, the texture and flavor may be slightly different. However, these substitutes are the best options if you are looking to change the original recipe.
Ingredients Substitutions
- Lotus Biscoff Cookies: Gingerbread cookies are a good substitute, or you can leave the cookie pieces out completely.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter: I love the flavor of the Biscoff brand, however, you can use any brand you like or can find. You can also use crunchy cookie butter if you prefer. You can usually find Biscoff cookie butter at Walmart in the peanut butter section.

👩🍳 How To Make Biscoff Ice Cream
STEP 1—Use your hands to break the cookies into bite-sized pieces.
STEP 2—Use a stand or hand mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the cream to medium peaks.
STEP 3—Add the sweetened condensed milk and salt to the cream.
STEP 4—Mix until the condensed milk is just combined. The cream will be smooth and somewhat shiny.
STEP 5—Spoon a layer of cream into the bottom of an insulated ice cream tub.
STEP 6—Follow with a layer of cookie pieces.
STEP 7—Add small swirls of cookie butter over the cookie pieces. Add another layer of cream, then cookies, then cookie butter.
STEP 8—Stop when everything is gone, but try to finish with a layer of cookies and cookie butter. Cover and freeze for eight hours before scooping and serving.
🗣 Expert Tips
1. For a vanilla base, rather than a sweet cream base, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract when you add the condensed milk.
2. If you don’t own ice cream tubs, use a standard loaf tin covered tightly with aluminum foil.
3. Thaw the ice cream at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.
📝 Recipe Notes
- To check if the cream is whipped to medium peaks, stop the mixer, and remove the whisk attachment with whipped cream on it. Turn the whisk upside down. Medium peaks will almost stand straight up without flopping over.
- Insulated ice cream tubs can sometimes be found at stores like Marshalls or Homesense, or online.
- In Canada, I have found Biscoff cookie butter at Walmart in the peanut butter aisle but you can also order it from Amazon.
