You know those desserts that are too good and somehow way too easy? This is one of those.
Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches are creamy, crunchy, gooey, and straight-up addictive.
You’re just layering cold, creamy vanilla ice cream between soft Biscoff cookies, then rolling the sides in crushed Biscoff for that little extra something.
No baking. No fancy tools. Just super chill and crazy delicious.
Why I Love This Recipe
I made these once during a hot summer afternoon when I was craving something cold, but didn’t want to mess with a blender or oven. I had Biscoff cookies, ice cream, and honestly—this treat came out better than anything store-bought.
- You only need 3 ingredients
- There’s no baking involved
- It’s super fast and fun to make
- The textures—soft ice cream, crunchy cookies, crushed bits on the side—are perfect
- You can keep them frozen for later, so it’s a great make-ahead treat
What You’ll Need
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
- 16 Biscoff cookies (whole)
- 1/2 cup crushed Biscoff cookies (for rolling)
Servings and Time
Makes: 8 sandwiches
Total Time: 15 minutes + 1 hour freeze time
Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
Biscoff cookies soften just slightly in the freezer, giving you that ideal sandwich texture without falling apart. The crushed cookies on the side stick to the melty edge of the ice cream before freezing and give every bite a little crunch. The slightly softened ice cream spreads evenly and firms up beautifully without oozing.
Common Mistakes
- Using hard ice cream: If the ice cream is too firm, it’ll crack the cookies when you press them together.
- Overfilling: Too much ice cream will ooze out the sides.
- Skipping the refreeze: These need at least 1 hour in the freezer after assembling to set properly.
- Not crushing the cookies fine enough: Big chunks won’t stick well to the edges.
What to Serve With
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries
- Iced coffee or a creamy latte
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling
- Crushed nuts for extra texture on the sides
Tools Needed
- Small cookie scoop or spoon
- Butter knife or mini spatula
- Small bowl (for crushed cookies)
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet or plate for freezing
Substitutions and Variations
- Swap vanilla ice cream for cookie butter swirl, caramel, or coffee flavor
- Use gluten-free Biscoff-style cookies
- Roll in mini chocolate chips instead of crushed cookies
- Add a thin layer of cookie butter between cookie and ice cream
Make Ahead Tips
Make them up to a week in advance! Just wrap each sandwich in parchment or plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Recipe and Instructions
Step 1: Soften the Ice Cream
Let 1 pint of vanilla ice cream sit out for 10 minutes until it’s soft enough to scoop and spread but not melted.
Step 2: Lay Out the Cookies
Place 8 Biscoff cookies face down on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. These will be the bottom of your sandwiches.
Step 3: Scoop and Spread the Ice Cream
Using a small scoop or spoon, place about 2 tablespoons of softened ice cream on top of each cookie. Spread it gently to cover the cookie evenly.
Step 4: Add the Top Cookie
Place another Biscoff cookie on top of the ice cream and press gently to sandwich. Don’t squish too hard—just enough to hold.
Step 5: Roll in Crushed Cookies
Roll the edges of each sandwich in the 1/2 cup of crushed Biscoff cookies so the sides are fully coated.
Step 6: Freeze to Set
Place all finished sandwiches back on the parchment-lined plate or sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour until fully set.
Leftovers and Storage
Wrap each sandwich in parchment or plastic wrap and keep in a sealed container in the freezer. Best eaten within 1 week for best texture and flavor.
