Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup (225 g) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (250 g) Lotus Biscoff cookie butter
10 to 12 Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed
Directions
Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
Warm the cookie butter in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until slightly fluid but not hot.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and warmed cookie butter to the whipped cream. Mix gently on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the crushed cookies using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and sprinkle with extra crushed cookies if desired.
Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully set, before serving.
Servings and timing
This recipe yields approximately 20 servings.
Preparation time is about 5 minutes, with a freezing time of at least 6 hours.
Variations
For a swirl effect, reserve a few tablespoons of cookie butter and gently ripple it through the ice cream before freezing. Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate can be added for extra texture. For a slightly lighter version, replace 1/4 cup of the heavy cream with whole milk and fold it in after whipping the cream.
Storage/Reheating
Store the ice cream in an airtight, freezer-safe container to prevent ice crystals from forming. It keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months, though it is best enjoyed within the first month for optimal texture. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
