Cookie Butter Ice Cream

Creamy, dreamy cookie butter ice cream is made with just three ingredients in five minutes hands on time. Even better? It’s made without special ice cream makers!

With just one lick, you’ll fall in love with Speculoos ice cream!

I can’t keep my spoon out of a jar of Speculoos Cookie Butter. It’s insane. 

I love using it as a dip and incorporating it into desserts like these amazing no bake Cookie Butter Bars. After having Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter Ice Cream, I decided I could do it better – and did!

It’s blending in, rather than swirled in, to create the creamiest, dreamiest most flavorful Speculoos ice cream.

My sister’s comment when we made this? “This is ridiculous.” We couldn’t keep our hands off of it – and that was before it was in frozen form.

You just may want to make a double batch. Or don’t. It you don’t want to devour the entire batch, have a share plan because it’s truly addicting!

What is Cookie Butter?

What is cookie butter, you might ask? Well… it’s magical. That’s what it is.

You have to try it to believe it. If you’ve never had cookie butter, get yourself to the grocery store as quickly as possible. 

In all seriousness though, it’s a spread, much like peanut butter in consistency, made from crushed speculoos. Speculoos are spiced cookies, similar to gingerbread, with a shortbread-like buttery flavor.

When pulverized, magic happens… turning the cookies into a delightful spread. I’ve used cookie butter in a variety of recipes – you’ve got to try my Speculoos pie crust, cookie butter cheesecake, and cookie butter cake!

No Churn Cookie Butter Ice Cream

It comes together in just five minutes hands-on time and only three ingredients! You read that correctly – three ingredients.

Any which way, I know you will love it, too! This Speculoos ice cream recipe is a slight adaptation from my famous Peanut Butter Ice Cream. If you thought that was creamy, wait until you get a lick of this!

Ingredients and Substitutions

This easy cookie butter ice cream recipe requires just three ingredients.

• Heavy Cream – The base for no churn ice cream. 
• Sweetened Condensed Milk – The ingredient that takes it from cream to ice cream. Sweetened condensed milk helps create the creamy sweetness to crave!
• Cookie Butter – This spreadable butter is comprised of pulverized spiced shortbread cookies (usually called Biscoff in the States, or Speculoos in Europe) and adds amazing flavor to the ice cream. It’s available at most grocery stores and Trader Joe’s has their own version.

Variations

• Swirl in crushed speculoos
• Swirl in candy or chocolate chips for a little added crunch

Where to Buy Cookie Butter

How to Make

1. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

   

2. Blend in sweetened condensed milk and cookie butter until smooth.

3. Pour into loaf pan.
4. Freeze until solid.

Serving Suggestions

• Cream Cheese Ice Cream Pie – Fill a graham cracker crust with mixture and freeze until solid.

• Did you know that I have an incredible collection of 20 No Churn Ice Cream Recipes? Every one is more amazing than the last.

How to Store

Freeze – Store in an airtight container  (ice cream container) in the back of the freezer for up to 2 weeks or until crystallization forms.

I also add a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the ice cream (before adding a plastic lid). I don’t worry much about storing it for long, because the truth is- it won’t last long in our house!
