What is Biscoff (Cookie Butter)?

Before we dive into making this delectable milkshake, let’s talk about the star ingredient: Biscoff spread, often affectionately known as cookie butter. Originating from Belgium, Biscoff cookies (or Speculoos) are distinctive shortcrust biscuits with a rich, caramelized, and spiced flavor profile. Imagine notes of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, all baked into a perfectly crisp cookie.

The spread is essentially these beloved cookies ground into a smooth, creamy butter, similar in texture to peanut butter or Nutella. It’s incredibly versatile and adds a deeply satisfying warmth and sweetness to any dish. Its unique taste makes it an instant favorite for spreading on toast, dipping fruit, or, as we’re doing today, blending into an unbelievably delicious milkshake. The balance of sweetness and subtle spice is truly what sets Biscoff apart and makes this milkshake so unforgettable.

Essential Ingredients for Your Biscoff Milkshake

Creating this delicious cookie butter milkshake requires just a handful of straightforward ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the richness and flavor of your final milkshake, so opt for good quality where possible.

• Vanilla Ice Cream: This is the foundation of any great milkshake, providing the creamy base and a hint of classic flavor. I highly recommend using a high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best results, as it will contribute significantly to the milkshake’s overall texture and taste. A premium ice cream will offer a richer, smoother consistency. For those following a vegan or dairy-free diet, simply swap in your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice cream—many excellent options are available that blend beautifully.
• Biscoff Spread: The star of the show, also widely known as cookie butter! This iconic spread is made from pulverized Lotus Biscoff cookies, delivering that irresistible caramelized, spiced flavor we all adore. You can easily find Lotus Biscoff spread at most local grocery stores, large retailers like Target, or online via Amazon. It’s typically located in the aisle with peanut butter, hazelnut spreads, and other sweet spreads. Both smooth and crunchy varieties work wonderfully; choose whichever texture you prefer!
• Milk: Your choice of milk will influence the consistency and richness of your milkshake. Feel free to use any type of milk you prefer or have on hand. Whole milk will yield the creamiest, thickest milkshake, but 2% or skim milk will also work, resulting in a slightly lighter consistency. If you have food allergies or dietary preferences, dairy-free alternatives such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk (from a carton, not canned) are excellent choices and will still produce a delicious Biscoff milkshake.
• Salt: While it might seem like a small detail in a sweet recipe, a tiny pinch of salt is incredibly important! It acts as a flavor enhancer, balancing the sweetness of the ice cream and Biscoff spread and bringing out the depth of their caramelized notes. Don’t skip this step – it truly makes a difference in elevating the overall taste.
• Optional Toppings: To truly elevate your Biscoff milkshake, consider adding a few delightful toppings! Freshly whipped cream, a drizzle of extra Biscoff spread (slightly melted for pourability), or a sprinkle of crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies add visual appeal and extra layers of flavor and texture.

Expert Tips & Tricks for the Best Biscoff Milkshake

Achieving milkshake perfection is easy with these insider tips and tricks. Elevate your Biscoff milkshake from delicious to absolutely extraordinary with a few simple additions and techniques.

• For a Gourmet Glass Drizzle: To create that impressive, professional milkshake look, slightly melt some extra Biscoff spread in the microwave (about 15-30 seconds). Drizzle the warm, melted spread inside your glass before pouring in the blended milkshake. As the milkshake chills, the Biscoff will harden slightly, creating beautiful streaks and adding an extra burst of flavor with every sip.
• Rim Your Glass with Cookie Crumbs: Take your milkshake presentation to the next level by creating a delightful cookie crumb rim. Melt a small amount of Biscoff spread, then slowly roll the edge of your glass in the melted spread. Immediately after, roll the moistened rim into a shallow dish of crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs. This creates a gorgeous, edible border, just like the ones you see in the photos!
• The Ultimate Topping Bar: Don’t stop at just crushed cookies! Crown your Biscoff milkshake with a generous dollop of homemade whipped cream, a few whole Lotus Biscoff cookies for extra crunch, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an added aromatic touch. A drizzle of chocolate syrup can also complement the Biscoff flavor beautifully.
• Customize to Your Sweetness Preference: The beauty of homemade milkshakes is that you can adjust them to your exact taste. Start with the recommended amount of Biscoff spread, then taste the milkshake before pouring. If you desire a more intense cookie butter flavor or a sweeter profile, simply add another tablespoon of Biscoff spread to the blender and pulse briefly until combined.
• Maximize Coldness Without Dilution: For the coldest, thickest milkshake, I strongly advise against adding ice to the blender. While ice will make it colder, it will also dilute the rich flavors and create a watery consistency as it melts. Instead, for an extra-chilled and thick shake, add an additional scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. You can also pre-chill your serving glasses in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before preparing your milkshake.
• Scaling Up for a Crowd: This recipe is designed to make one generous serving, perfect for a personal treat. If you’re hosting guests or simply want more to share, this recipe easily doubles or even triples! Just multiply all the ingredient quantities accordingly and ensure your blender is large enough to accommodate the increased volume.
• Achieving Perfect Consistency: If your milkshake is too thick, add a splash more milk (a tablespoon at a time) and blend until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add another small scoop of ice cream and blend again. The perfect milkshake consistency is a matter of personal preference!
