Lotus Biscoff Ice Cream

The first time I had these cookies was on flight. I don’t remember which airline (likely in Europe) but it was a snack that was given with coffee.

Hence the name Biscoff, combining the words biscuit and coffee (and how they are supposed to be enjoyed).

These cookies were created in Belgium by the Boone Bros. in 1932, Essentially they are a crisp speculoos buscuit with a caramel and cinnamon flavour profile.

I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like Lotus Biscoff and they’ve become so popular there is now a spread you can buy in jars packed with the same flavour. Game changer!

It is with the Lotus Biscoff spread (along with the original biscuits) that this no-churn style ice cream comes together.

I like using my stand mixer but if you don’t have one, a hand mixer will work as well. You’re about to have one of the tastiest ice creams ever!
