I’ve got Trader Joe’s cookie butter spread and Biscoff cookies stocked up, and when my son requested this specific flavor, I knew it was time to turn that craving into a creamy, dreamy ice cream. The combination of cookie butter’s spiced caramel taste with the crunch of cookies is what dessert dreams are made of.
But why stop there? If you’re in the mood for something even more indulgent, try switching it up with a peanut butter ice cream, matcha ice cream, chocolate chip overload, or a cookie monster ice cream!
The rich, creamy peanut butter combined with a velvety base is perfect for those who love that nutty sweetness. Or, go all in with a chocolate ice cream or milo ice cream—the deep, decadent flavor pairs wonderfully with cookie butter, creating a heavenly combination. For a fruity twist, top it off with a scoop of blackberry or cherry ice cream—its tartness and sweetness offer the perfect contrast to the richness of the cookie butter.
This recipe is the ultimate lazy-yet-delicious hack, especially when you’ve got a Ninja Creami to do all the work. No fuss, no fancy equipment, just pure cookie butter bliss in a scoop.

What is Cookie Butter?
Cookie butter is a spread made from spiced cookies, like Biscoff, blended with sugar and fats to create a creamy, peanut butter-like consistency. It originated in Europe and quickly became popular worldwide due to its sweet, caramelized flavor with hints of cinnamon and ginger.
Think of it as spreadable cookies—great on toast, pancakes, or, as we’re doing here, in ice cream! Its unique taste adds a special touch to any dessert, making it an irresistible addition to your sweet treat arsenal.
Ingredients
Here’s what you will need:
- Cookie Butter Spread: Adds that signature spiced caramel flavor. Use your favorite brand like Trader Joe’s or Lotus Biscoff.
- Cottage Cheese: Provides creaminess without making it too rich. If you’re not a fan, swap with Greek yogurt or cream cheese.
- Condensed Milk: Sweetens the ice cream and adds a luscious texture. Adjust to taste for sweetness.
- Half and Half: Balances richness with a light, creamy consistency. Heavy cream or whole milk can be used instead. Substitute with regular milk, soy milk or almond milk.
- Biscoff Cookies: For that extra crunch and burst of cookie flavor. Swap with any spiced or ginger snap cookies.

Hi just wondering how much half and half? Seems like the measurement unit is missing.
Rose Sioson says
Hello Lisa!! It should be in cups. Thank you! 🙂
Amy Brand says
There is no soy milk listed in the ingredients

Hi Amy! Thank you for your comment. The soy milk was a typo. Thanks for correcting me. I updated it. I used half and half as the liquid base for this recipe. You can substitute it with soy milk or you can use both. Half and Half will result to a more creamier texture. 🙂
