Delicious Lotus Biscoff ice cream, with just four ingredients and the easiest of recipes.

These lovely little speculoos biscuits turn homemade ice cream into an impressive treat.

Lotus Biscoff ice cream

We love ice cream and I adore Lotus Biscoff – those dainty little speculoos biscuits that come alongside your coffee. This Biscoff ice cream recipe uses only 4 ingredients and no churning. It couldn’t be easier and is absolutely delicious.

This ice cream is flavoured throughout with Biscoff spread. I have swirled the spread through it and added crumbled speculoos biscuits throughout for texture. Top it with more Biscoff spread and biscuits and you have Biscoff heaven!

This really is one of my favourite effortlessly impressive recipes. Served on a homemade Biscoff blondie, it will have friends in awe of your skills in the kitchen. You can tell them how easy it is but I rather like to keep it a secret!

When space is tight, no churn ice cream is really the way to go. You just mix it up, put it in a container, freeze and then serve. There’s no need to pre-freeze an ice cream machine, or find space for those expensive ones with compressors.

This makes a 700 ml batch. That’s a little more than a regular tub of premium ice cream but is easy to scale up and down. I make a batch of ice cream this size every week for two of us. It is easily doubled for a bigger crowd.

• Double cream – Just regular double cream. No need for the fancy extra thick version.

How to make Biscoff ice cream

Here is how to make it, step by step with hints and tips.

Step One – Whip the cream until you have soft peaks. Do not over whip it. If you do over whip the cream and it becomes grainy, you can add a little milk to rescue it.

Here is how to rescue over whipped cream.

Step Two – Add the Biscoff spread and slowly whip it in on the lowest speed. If you go too fast, it will start to split. Don’t worry if there are still some small blobs of spread in the cream.

Step Three – Add the condensed milk and gently fold it in until you have a smooth mixture.

Pro Tip

Fold gently so you don’t knock the air out of the whipped cream.

Step Four – Break each biscuit into about 8 pieces (chunks, not crumbs).

Microwave the remainder of the Biscoff spread until it has melted, but is not warm. I find it needs about 15 seconds on 70% power, but this will vary according to the power of your microwave.

Step Five – Transfer your Biscoff ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Choose one that will take about 750 ml or a bit more.

Pour two thirds of the melted Biscoff spread over the mixture, and add most of the biscuit pieces. Swirl through the ice cream mixture, making sure you get some into the corners of the container. I find the easiest way to do this is to use the end of a spoon.

Step Six – Drizzle over the rest of the spread and then top with the remaining biscuits. Put the lid on and freeze for at least 6 hours.

Microwave some more Biscoff spread until it is runny and pour over the top to serve for a Biscoff ice cream sundae!

Hints and tips for Biscoff ice cream

• Always use a good airtight pot, unless you are serving the next day. It looks lovely served in a loaf pan, but unless the ice cream is stored in an air tight container it can go grainy within a few days.

• The ice cream needs at least six hours to freeze. Ideally freeze overnight.

• This no-churn Biscoff ice cream recipe uses half a can of condensed milk Keep the leftovers in the freezer so that you can use them for fudge or the next batch of ice cream. However, frozen condensed milk will not solidify but will leak out of any container that isn’t upright or properly watertight, so take care. I use a Lock & Lock.

• If you over whip the cream, don’t panic. Fold in a little milk, slowly whisking until it is the desired consistency. (This is also a good tip to make whipping or double cream go further: slightly over whip it then add milk and gently fold it in. You can add up to 30% by volume, though it does depend on the thickness of the cream and how warm your kitchen is.) 

• Condensed milk no-churn ice cream is at its best within a fortnight of making. Beyond that, the consistency can deteriorate. However, it is unlikely to last that long – if it does, your willpower is impressive!
