Ingredients
With just four ingredients, Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches are all about simplicity and bold flavor. Quality matters, so grab authentic Biscoff cookies and spread for the best results.
-
30 Biscoff cookies: These iconic cookies provide the crunchy, spiced base and top for the sandwiches.
-
400 g (1 ¾ cups) whipping cream or heavy cream: Creates a light, fluffy filling. Use cream with at least 35% fat for the best texture.
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract: Adds a warm, sweet note to complement the Biscoff flavor.
-
200 g (¾ cup) Biscoff spread: The star of the filling, bringing a caramelized, spiced sweetness.
-
Substitutions and Variations:
-
Dairy-Free: Swap whipping cream for coconut cream and use a dairy-free Biscoff-style spread (or make your own with vegan cookies).
-
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free Biscoff cookies or similar spiced cookies.
-
Lower Sugar: Reduce Biscoff spread to 150 g and add a touch of maple syrup for sweetness.
-
Flavor Twist: Swap Biscoff spread for peanut butter or hazelnut spread for a different vibe.
-
Cookie Swap: Use graham crackers or shortbread cookies if Biscoff cookies aren’t available.
-
Why These Ingredients Matter: The Biscoff cookies provide structure and crunch, while the whipping cream creates a light, creamy filling. The Biscoff spread adds a rich, caramelized flavor, and vanilla ties it all together for a balanced dessert.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
-
Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs on all sides for easy removal.
-
Set the pan aside while you prepare the filling.
-
Tip: Use clips to secure the parchment paper to the pan’s edges for a neat setup.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine 400 g whipping cream and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
-
Use an electric hand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the mixture until firm peaks form (about 3–5 minutes). The cream should hold its shape when lifted.
-
Tip: Chill the bowl and whisk in the fridge for 10 minutes before whipping for faster results.
Step 3: Add the Biscoff Spread
-
Warm 200 g Biscoff spread in the microwave in 15-second intervals until it’s runny and pourable (about 30–45 seconds total).
-
Slowly drizzle the warm Biscoff spread into the whipped cream while gently folding with a silicone spatula. Mix until no streaks remain, keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
-
Tip: Fold slowly to maintain the whipped cream’s airiness for a creamy texture.
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
-
Arrange a layer of Biscoff cookies (about 15) on the bottom of the lined pan, cutting some to fit snugly and fill any gaps.
-
Pour the Biscoff whipped cream mixture over the cookie layer and smooth it into an even layer with an offset spatula.
-
Place another layer of Biscoff cookies (about 15) on top, aligning them with the bottom layer for neat sandwiches.
-
Tip: Press the top cookies gently into the cream to ensure they stick.
Step 5: Freeze
-
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
-
Tip: Ensure the pan is level in the freezer to keep the filling even.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
-
Remove the pan from the freezer and lift the block out using the parchment paper overhangs.
-
Place on a cutting board and slice into squares or rectangles to match the size of the cookies (about 9–12 sandwiches, depending on size).
-
Serve immediately or wrap individually for later.
-
Tip: Use a sharp, warm knife (run under hot water and wipe dry) for clean cuts.
