Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Biscoff Ice Cream
Step 1: Whisk the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine 600 ml of double cream, 397 g of condensed milk, and 275 g of Biscoff spread. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer at medium speed, whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes. You’ll notice it thickening slightly—this is the perfect consistency to create luscious Biscoff ice cream.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscoff Biscuits
While the base is whisking, take 125 g of Biscoff biscuits and crush them into small chunks using a rolling pin or your hands. Set them aside for layering. For an additional burst of flavor, melt 125 g of Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, until it gets pourable but not too hot.
Step 3: Layer the Mixture
Grab a loaf tin or a suitable container for freezing. Spoon in one-third of the ice cream mixture, smoothing it out evenly. Drizzle one-third of the melted Biscoff spread over the top, followed by a sprinkle of one-third of the crushed Biscoff biscuits, ensuring that each layer is flavorful and inviting. Repeat this layering process two more times until all ingredients are used.
Step 4: Freeze to Perfection
Cover the container tightly with cling film or a lid to prevent freezer burn. Place the assembled Biscoff ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until it is completely firm. Once frozen, it should be solid to the touch and ready to be scooped out into bowls or cones come dessert time.

How to Store and Freeze Biscoff Ice Cream
Freezer: Store your Biscoff ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Ensure it is covered tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain its delightful flavor.

Leftovers: If you have any leftover ice cream, ensure it is returned to the freezer promptly—just cover it again with cling film or a lid to keep it fresh.

Biscoff No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe FAQs
What type of cream is best for this recipe?
Absolutely, double cream is highly recommended for its richness and creamy texture, but if you can’t find it, heavy cream can be a good substitute. Just make sure to whip it until it’s slightly thickened, as this helps achieve that luscious ice cream texture.
How should I store my Biscoff ice cream?
You should store your Biscoff ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. To prevent freezer burn, be sure to tightly cover it with cling film or a lid before placing it in the freezer. This keeps the flavor intact and your ice cream creamy!
Can I freeze this ice cream for longer?
While technically it could last longer, for the best flavor and texture, I recommend enjoying your Biscoff ice cream within a month. If left in the freezer for too long, you might notice some ice crystal formation, which can affect the creaminess.
What do I do if my mixture splits?
Very! If you accidentally over-whisk the mixture and it splits, don’t worry! You can often recover it by gently warming the mixture in a bowl over a pot of simmering water or microwaving it in short bursts until it’s just warm. Then, whisk it again on low speed until it comes back together.
Are there any dietary considerations with Biscoff ice cream?
While this creamy treat is utterly delightful, remember that it contains gluten from the Biscoff biscuits, so it’s not suitable for those with gluten allergies. Additionally, the recipe uses condensed milk, which is not dairy-free. For lactose-free options, consider using dairy alternatives specifically designed for whipping.
How can I add more flavor to my ice cream?
I often make this ice cream even more exciting by adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder or some chocolate chunks! If you prefer a unique twist, you could also experiment by replacing the Biscoff biscuits with another type of spiced biscuit. The more the merrier when it comes to flavor exploration!
