Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cookie butter spread, divided
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk, chilled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 Speculoos cookies, chopped into small chunks
Directions
-
Place 1/2 cup of the cookie butter in a heat-safe bowl and microwave until just melted. Let cool.
-
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cookie butter, milk, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, vanilla, and salt until combined. Place in the refrigerator until well chilled, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
-
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. In the last few moments of churning, gradually add in the Speculoos cookie chunks until and continue churning until incorporated.
-
Slightly melt the remaining 1/4 cup cookie butter spread. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container in batches, spooning the Speculoos spread in between layers of ice cream in a swirled pattern. Cover the ice cream surface with plastic wrap and freeze until the ice cream is firm and flavor is ripened, at least 2 hours.
Wow! I thought your Death by Chocolate ice cream was my favorite, but now I’m choosing Cookie Butter! I had never heard of Cookie Butter or Speculoos cookies, but the ice cream was AMAZING!! Keep the ice cream recipes coming please!
This is a family favorite now! Fantastic!
Hooray! So excited to hear that, Curtis!
OH. MY. GOSH. Tessa, your cookie butter ice cream is out of this world. I followed every ingredient quantity and recipe step exactly, used my ice cream maker, and sooo enjoyed eating this treat! Thanks for another great recipe!
YAY!! I’m so happy you loved it!
My second attempt at homemade ice cream and I wanted to make something rich and creamy. This recipe hit the nail on the head, it was deliciious. The Biscoff cookie spread and cookies were not overpowering, more like caramel flavor with a hint of cinnamon. I may try slightly less sugar next time, only for my own preference, the sweet tooth’s in my family thought it was perfect. I will definitely be making this again and again. Thanks for the great recipe!
This ice cream recipe is AMAZING. My kids and I made it today and our family went bonkers after trying it. We’ve been making the basic ice creams for the last few weeks in our new (for quarantine) ice cream maker, but this one is THE hands down favorite. YUM. Wouldn’t alter one thing about this recipe!!
Came out great and super decadent! This is an excellent recipe!
What can you use other than the Speculoos cookies. Can not find in my area.
I have been trying to master non-dairy ice cream for my lactose intolerant partner and this made for the perfect foil to the coconut cream base I used. Absolutely delicious, and it’s hard to say that about non-dairy ice cream!
Hello Tessa ! Thank you for sharing this cookie butter ice cream. Can I use vanilla essence / vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract ? TIA
Of course!
We made this for xmas eve. It’s amazing. Thanks!
This sounds amazing. i live in the Midwest and have never heard of the cookie butter or the Speculoos cookies, I haven’t seen it in the stores either. I was wondering if the cookies are similar to the windmill cookies that are available here? Would they be able to be substituted?
Cookie butter??? Sounds interesting, but have never seen it in Canada. What section of the grocery store?
It is the best! It’s also called Biscoff (a specific European brand) and is located near the nut butters, Nutella, etc.
Cookie butter? I’ve never heard of such a thing but it sounds amazing! I’ll have to go hunting for some!
On a totally side note … your plank wall also sounds amazing. Care to share pictures? 🙂
You must get your hands on some! Many grocery stores have it now 🙂 And thanks! I’ll try to share some 🙂
Tessa,
I’m clueless on the cookie butter.
Am baking south of the border and haven’t seen or heard of this before.
I do bake quite a lot but this is a new one for me.
Gracias,
Mir
Tessa, also cookie butter can’t be found! how can I make my own?
Hi Tessa! I live in Colombia and let me tell you I am a BIG fan of your recipes. I am constantly baking the recipes you post. I want to try this ice cream recipe, but unfortunately here in Colombia we don’t have speculoos cookies. I searched for the recipe but there are some ingredientes, that, again, can’t find down here. Can you please let me know what other cookies can use to make your recipe. Can graham crackers be used as a replacement of speculoos? Thank you so much for sharing recipes!
That looks awesome! Love the chunks of speculoos cookies too 🙂
