Biscoff Cookies – Sweet, Spiced, and Oh-So-Nice!

These age-old biscuits have taken dessert lovers by storm, but they’re not a newcomer to the scene, quite the opposite.

Biscoff biscuits, also known as Lotus Biscoff cookies or speculoos biscuits, have a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century in Belgium. They were first created in the 1930s by a Belgian baker named Jan Boone.

The name “Biscoff” is a combination of “biscuit” and “coffee” because these spiced cookies were often served with coffee.

The Distinct Flavour of Biscoff Cookies

The distinct spiced flavour of Biscoff cookies comes from a blend of cinnamon and other spices, which gives them their unique and delicious taste. The traditional shape of these cookies features a design that resembles a windmill.

Biscoff biscuits quickly gained popularity in Europe and later in the United States, where they are sometimes referred to as “airplane cookies” due to their association with in-flight snacks.

In recent years, the familiar flavour has been expanded into various products, including Biscoff spreads, Biscoff ice cream, and even Biscoff-flavoured coffee.

So, while Biscoff cookies have been enjoyed for nearly a century, their distinct spiced flavour has gained popularity in various new forms, making it a much-loved flavour for many, especially in the world of desserts and sweet treats.

Whether you’re a cookie-dunker or a snack sneaker, you can’t deny the appeal of that distinct Biscoff flavour.

Now, imagine that familiar spiced flavour incorporated into every creamy scoop of homemade ice cream, and you’ve got the idea.

Homemade Biscoff Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 300ml double cream
• 300ml whole milk
• 175g Biscoff cookie butter
• 150g granulated sugar
• 3 large egg yolks
• 100g Biscoff cookies, crushed

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine the double cream and whole milk. Heat until it begins to simmer, then remove from the heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until it’s pale and slightly thickened.
3. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
4. Return this mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring continuously. Make sure it doesn’t boil.
5. Remove from heat, and whisk in the Biscoff cookie butter until well combined.
6. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight.
7. Churn the Biscoff ice cream base in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add the crushed Biscoff cookies.
8. Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze until it’s firm.

👉🏽 Note: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make all of these recipes;

Simply pour your ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals, repeating this process for about 3-4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
