This creamy and dreamy Biscoff ice cream is a treat you can whip up at home! It’s loaded with that caramel cookie flavor that’s hard to resist.
I love how simple it is to make—just mix, freeze, and enjoy! Try it with a drizzle of chocolate sauce; it takes this dessert to a whole new level of yum!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscoff Spread: This is the star of the show! If you can’t find Biscoff, you can use any cookie butter or even a different flavored spread, like nut butter, but the taste will change.
Heavy Whipping Cream: It gives the ice cream its creamy texture. If you want a lighter version, you can substitute with coconut cream or a dairy-free whipping cream alternative.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is crucial for sweetness and creaminess. For a lower-calorie option, try using sugar-free condensed milk or make your own by blending soaked dates with milk if you’re looking for a healthier choice.
Crushed Biscoff Cookies: These add a nice crunch! If you don’t have Biscoff, any sweet cookie like digestive biscuits or graham crackers can work, or just skip it for a smooth ice cream.
How Do I Whip Cream to Stiff Peaks?
Getting the whipped cream right is key for texture. Here’s how you do it:
- Start with cold heavy whipping cream; cold makes it easier to whip.
- Use a clean mixing bowl and electric mixer. Beat the cream on medium-high speed.
- Watch for soft peaks to form, then continue whipping until stiff peaks hold their shape. Avoid over-whipping, or it can become grainy.
Whipping properly keeps your ice cream light and fluffy, contrasting beautifully with the Biscoff spread and cookie bits! Enjoy your delightful treat!
Easy Homemade Biscoff Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients You’ll Need:

- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Biscoff cookies (for mix-in)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take you about 15 minutes to prepare, plus at least 6 hours to freeze. Perfect for a weekend treat or a special dessert!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Whip the Cream:
Start with a large mixing bowl. Pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This means that when you lift the mixer out, the cream holds its shape well. Don’t rush this step, as the whipped cream gives your ice cream its lovely fluffiness!
2. Mix the Biscoff Mixture:
In another bowl, combine the Biscoff spread, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it’s smooth and well mixed. This mixture is what gives the ice cream its delicious flavor!
3. Combine the Mixtures:
Now, gently fold the Biscoff mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula and a gentle motion to keep the air in the whipped cream. You want your ice cream to be light and airy!
4. Add the Crunch:
Fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies. This adds a fun, crunchy texture to your ice cream, making every bite special!
5. Freeze the Ice Cream:
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top to make it nice and even, then cover it with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
6. Let It Freeze:
Place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or overnight if you can wait! This will allow the ice cream to set nice and firm.
7. Scoop and Serve:
When you’re ready to enjoy your ice cream, scoop it out! You can garnish each serving with extra crushed Biscoff cookies or a drizzle of Biscoff spread for that extra special touch.
Enjoy a rich, smooth, homemade Biscoff ice cream bursting with caramelized cookie flavor and crunchy bits! It’s sure to become a favorite!
FAQ About Easy Homemade Biscoff Ice Cream
Can I Use Low-Fat Cream Instead of Heavy Cream?
Heavy cream is best for this recipe as it provides the rich and creamy texture. If you’re looking for a lower-fat option, you can try a light whipping cream, but keep in mind that the texture may not be as rich and might be less creamy.
How Long Can I Keep the Ice Cream in the Freezer?
Your homemade Biscoff ice cream can be stored in the freezer for about 2 to 3 weeks. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain its flavor!
Can I Add Other Mix-Ins?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or even swirls of caramel. Just make sure to fold in any additional ingredients gently so you don’t deflate the whipped cream.
How Can I Make This Recipe Dairy-Free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free whipping cream, and use a plant-based sweetened condensed milk alternative. The Biscoff spread is typically dairy-free, but always check the label to be sure!
