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

So Many Ways to Serve – It’s amazing on its own, but who could resist a scoop on top of a warm chocolate chip cookie or brownie? I challenge you to throw it in a sugar cone. I just indulged straight from the container.
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!
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
You’ll find it under several names like Speculoos Cookie Butter and Biscoff Cookie Spread.
Don’t over beat. Whipped cream can go from smooth to a chunky, grainy texture quickly, so it’s important not to over whip the whipped cream.
There’s two ways you can do this – you can swirl the cookie butter in at the end of mixing, or blend it all together. Guess which one I’m in favor of? Cookie butter in every bite!
Freeze mixing bowl before whipping the cream.
Serving Suggestions
Cream Cheese Ice Cream Pie – Fill a graham cracker crust with mixture and freeze until solid.
Ice Cream Sandwiches – Spread frozen ice cream between two of your favorite cookies.

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!
