Substitutions
Here are my recommended substitutions to make this cookie butter ice cream if you need them.
- Biscoff: Feel free to use your favorite cookie butter in this recipe. Major grocery chains like Walmart, Costco and Target both carry the Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter. When I’m shopping at Trader Joe’s I love to pick up some of their famous Creamy Speculoos Cookie Butter. You can also use a crunchy cookie butter, but I prefer creamy.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is another essential ingredient for homemade ice cream when not using an ice cream maker.
- Ground Cinnamon: I like to use a ground cinnamon anytime I make a cookie butter recipe. I find it really emphasizes the flavors of the Biscoff cookie butter. Feel free to omit if you would like.
- Vanilla Extract: This provides a lovely background flavor for the ice cream.
- Heavy Cream: This is an essential ingredient to the structure and texture of ice cream when it’s made without an ice cream mixer. Heavy cream usually whips to amount twice the amount.
- Lotus Biscoff Cookies: Feel free to use any crunchy cookie you like. Cinnamon graham crackers would be a good substitute.
Variations
Biscoff Ice Cream Bars: Prepare the Biscoff ice cream recipe as written up until transfering to a container. Instead, pour the cream mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top. Transfer the popsicle container into the freezer for 45 minutes. Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds and return to the freezer for another 6-8 hours. When you are ready to serve, run the popsicle molds under slightly warm water to help release the ice cream bars. Remove the bars from the container, drizzle some melted Biscoff cookie butter onto the bars and top with crushed Biscoff cookies. Lay the bars onto a lined plate or baking sheet and return to the freezer for another 15- 20 minutes to set the toppings. Enjoy!
Biscoff Ice Cream in Jar: When there is about ¼ cup (59 ml) cookie butter left in the jar, pour in 1 cup (237 ml) heavy cream, along with 4 tablespoons (50 g) sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 3-4 crushed biscoff cookies. Seal the jar with the lid and vigorously shake the jar to combine the ingredients. Transfer the jar into the freezer for about 5-6 hours and enjoy!
How To Make
Let me show you how to make Biscoff ice cream in a few easy steps.
- Pour the Biscoff cookie butter, sweetened condensed milk, ground cinnamon and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl fitted with whisk attachment. Mix the ingredients together on medium speed until well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, pour in the heavy cream into the cookie butter mixture. Once all the heavy cream has been added, increase the speed to medium until the cream mixture whips into soft-medium peaks.
- Layer the homemade Biscoff ice cream with swirls of melted cookie butter and crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies into a freezer proof container. I like to do two layers of homemade ice cream topped with a swirl of melted Biscoff and crushed cookies. Transfer the ice cream to the freezer to set for 1-2 hours. Then cover the entire container in plastic wrap and a layer of foil. Freeze the ice cream for at least 8 hours, but preferably overnight. Pull the ice cream out to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, scoop and enjoy!
How To Store and Serve
Store the creamy and decadent ice cream in an airtight and freezer proof container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Serve Biscoff ice cream on top of Espresso Brownies or Biscoff Butter Cookies.
M’s Expert Tips
- Warm the cookie butter. Before mixing the Biscoff cookie butter into the sweetened condensed milk, make sure to gently heat it. This makes it so much easier to fully mix the spread into the milk.
- Make sure the Lotus cream mixture is whipped to medium soft peaks. Cream has been whipped to medium peaks when the whipped cream mostly stands up and folds down slightly when the whisk is lifted out of the bowl.
- Make sure to chill the ice cream for at least 6 - 8 hours: For the best Biscoff ice cream, do not skimp on the freezer time.
