Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 600ml double cream
- 250ml condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cookies & Spread
- 150g speculoos biscuits
- 100g speculoos biscuit spread
Instructions
- Crush the Biscuits: Tip the speculoos biscuits into a food processor and blitz until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the biscuits in a sealed bag and bash them with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
- Melt the Speculoos Spread: Warm the speculoos biscuit spread in a small pan over low heat until melted, then allow it to cool slightly. Alternatively, melt it in a heatproof bowl in the microwave using short bursts to avoid overheating.
- Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer, whisk the double cream until soft peaks form, providing a light, airy base for the ice cream.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and crushed speculoos biscuits into the whipped cream, ensuring the mixture remains airy and evenly combined.
- Assemble the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into a 1.2-litre loaf tin or any freezer-proof container. Drizzle the melted speculoos spread over the top, then use a knife to swirl it gently through the mixture to create a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Cover the container and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set. The ice cream can be stored frozen for up to three months.
- Serve: Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Serve with an optional sprinkle of sea salt flakes for a savory contrast.
Notes
- No ice cream maker is required; this is a no-churn recipe.
- If you don’t have speculoos spread, you can substitute with cookie butter or a similar spiced biscuit spread.
- The ice cream can be kept frozen for up to three months without loss of flavor or texture.
- Allowing the ice cream to soften slightly before serving improves scoopability.
- Add sea salt flakes on top to enhance the caramel and spice flavors.
