What it is

Cookie butter is a spread made from crushed cookies, often resembling speculoos or Biscoff cookies. The ice cream captures the sweet, spiced, and slightly caramelized notes of this popular spread, creating a rich and decadent frozen treat. It is designed for enjoyment as a standalone dessert or as a component in various sweet preparations.

To best enjoy this cookie butter ice cream, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances its creamy texture. It is perfect for a simple dessert served in a bowl, perhaps with a sprinkle of cookie crumbs. It also works wonderfully as a base for rich milkshakes, blended with milk and extra cookie butter for an intensified flavor. For a more elaborate treat, consider layering it with crumbled cookies and whipped cream in a parfait glass.
