There’s something utterly irresistible about Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream. From the creamy, velvety base to the indulgently rich caramel swirls and crunchy Biscoff cookie crumbles, it’s the kind of dessert that makes every bite feel like pure bliss.

How to make Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream

Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream is a sweet dessert you can get at Burger King locations in some countries (like Malaysia and Japan) — it’s basically a Biscoff-inspired ice cream treat built around the popular Lotus Biscoff flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (softened or slightly melted)
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional for added decadence)
• 8-10 Lotus Biscoff cookies (crushed into fine crumbs or small chunks)
• Extra Biscoff cookie butter for drizzle (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This will give the ice cream its creamy texture. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk with a spatula, ensuring it’s fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract for a subtle sweet aroma, then mix gently.

2. Create the Biscoff Swirl: In a small bowl, heat the Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it (but make sure it’s not liquid). Add the caramel sauce, if using, and stir until fully blended.

3. Layer the Ice Cream: In a freezer-safe container, layer the ice cream base and Biscoff swirl. Start with a layer of the ice cream base, drizzle the softened Biscoff cookie butter mixture over it, and sprinkle some crushed Biscoff cookies. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Reserve extra cookie crumbs for topping.

4. Add the Final Topping: Finish by sprinkling more crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies on top for added texture. Drizzle extra cookie butter (optional) for that finishing touch.

5. Freeze and Serve: Cover the container with plastic wrap or an airtight lid. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. Once frozen, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade version of Burger King’s divine dessert.

Tips for Success

• Use Cold Ingredients: Make sure your heavy cream and condensed milk are cold before starting. This helps the ice cream whip up lighter and creamier.
• Layer Strategically: Don’t mix the Biscoff cookie butter into the Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream base too aggressively. Layering ensures visible swirls, giving it that signature look and flavor.
• Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to personalize the recipe! Add caramel bits, chocolate chunks, or a drizzle of dark chocolate for an extra indulgent twist.
• Skip the Ice Cream Churner: This is a no-churn recipe, but if you have an ice cream maker, you can mix the base in it for an even smoother consistency. Swirl in the cookie butter and cookies after churning.
• Serve Creatively: For added fun, serve your ice cream in waffle cones and sprinkle topping directly onto the cone for a Burger King-inspired feel. Elegantly layering it into cups with extra caramel drizzle can make it a dessert fit for guests.

What to serve with

Your homemade Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream is already a show-stopping dessert, but you can elevate the experience by serving it with delicious accompaniments.

1. Add a Crunchy Base

Having something crunchy to balance the creamy texture of the Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream can make the dessert more dynamic. Here are a few ideas:

• Waffle Cones or Bowls: Serve your ice cream in freshly made waffle cones or bowls. The warm, crispy texture pairs beautifully with the smooth and creamy ice cream.
• Cookie Sandwiches: Turn your Biscoff ice cream into a decadent frozen treat by using Lotus Biscoff cookies to create ice cream sandwiches. Simply scoop the ice cream between two cookies and slightly press down.
• Brownie Chunks: Layer pieces of fudgy brownies in a dessert bowl with scoops of Biscoff ice cream. The chocolate will intensify the caramel and cinnamon notes in the ice cream.

2. Drizzles and Sauces

Enhance the flavor profile by adding sauces and drizzles that complement the ice cream.

• Caramel Sauce: A warm caramel drizzle accentuates the signature flavor of the Biscoff cookies with its buttery sweetness.
• Chocolate Ganache: A rich, gooey chocolate sauce contrasts beautifully with the spiced Biscoff flavors, adding indulgence for chocolate lovers.
• Biscoff Cookie Butter Sauce: This is a no-brainer! Heat some extra cookie butter and drizzle it over the ice cream. Bonus points for layering cookie crumbs over the sauce.

Ingredients Substitutes

1. Heavy Whipping Cream

Purpose in the Recipe: Heavy whipping cream gives the ice cream its creamy, luscious texture. It’s the foundation of a no-churn recipe and creates lightness when whipped.

Substitutes:

• Coconut Cream: A perfect dairy-free option. Make sure to chill the coconut cream overnight, then use only the solid part. Whip it just like heavy cream for a similar texture.
• Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: For a slightly tangy twist, opt for thick Greek yogurt (unsweetened or vanilla-flavored). It won’t whip up as light and fluffy as cream, but it provides a creamy base.
• Half-and-Half: If you’re looking for a lower-fat alternative, half-and-half can work, but be aware it won’t whip into stiff peaks like full-fat heavy cream.
• Non-Dairy Whipping Cream Alternatives: Brands like Silk, Elmlea Plant, or So Delicious offer vegan whipped cream substitutes that mimic the texture of traditional heavy cream.

2. Sweetened Condensed Milk

Purpose in the Recipe: Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness to the ice cream while helping it stay soft and scoopable, even after freezing.

Substitutes:

• Evaporated Milk + Sugar: Combine 1 cup of evaporated milk with 3/4 cup of sugar and heat it until dissolved to mimic the texture and sweetness of condensed milk.
• Coconut Condensed Milk: A great dairy-free substitute readily available in stores. It mirrors the sweetness and creamy consistency.
• Maple Syrup or Honey + Cream: If you’re avoiding processed ingredients, use 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup mixed with 1/2 cup cream for a natural sweetener substitute. Expect a slightly runnier consistency.
• DIY Nut Milk Version: Blend 1 cup of almond or cashew milk with 1/2 cup soaked cashews for a creamy, nut-based condensed milk alternative.

3. Vanilla Extract

Purpose in the Recipe: Vanilla enhances the overall flavor of the ice cream by adding warmth and depth to the sweetness.

Substitutes:

• Vanilla Bean Paste: Use an equal amount for a more intense, aromatic vanilla flavor. Plus, it adds visual appeal with tiny vanilla bean flecks.
• Almond Extract: For a slightly nutty twist, almond extract can replace vanilla. Use sparingly as almond extract is quite strong (1/2 teaspoon is enough).
• Cinnamon Powder: If you’d like to amplify the spiced notes of Biscoff cookies, swap vanilla with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder for an earthy flavor boost.

4. Biscoff Cookie Butter

Purpose in the Recipe: Biscoff cookie butter is the heart and soul of this ice cream, giving it the signature spiced caramelized flavor that fans adore.

Substitutes:

• Homemade Biscoff Cookie Butter: Blend Lotus Biscoff cookies with melted butter, brown sugar, and evaporated milk (or water) until smooth. This DIY version perfectly replicates the store-bought spread.
• Peanut Butter or Almond Butter: For a nutty alternative, use creamy peanut butter or almond butter. While it won’t have the spiced flavor, it offers the same smooth texture (mix with a pinch of cinnamon for a closer match).
• Nutella or Chocolate Spread: If you’re aiming for indulgence but don’t have cookie butter, Nutella or another chocolate spread can add a rich dimension to the ice cream.
• Maple Syrup or Dulce de Leche: For a caramel-like substitute, drizzle maple syrup or dulce de leche into the ice cream base to mimic the sweet richness of Biscoff butter.

Final Thoughts

By following this recipe, you’ll have a rich, creamy ice cream that rivals (or exceeds) the original Burger King Biscoff Ice Cream.
