How to Make Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches
Step 1: Prepare the Cookies
Begin by taking the Biscoff cookies out of the package. If you’re using a mix of whole cookies and crushed cookies for topping, set aside some crushed cookies in a small bowl.
Step 2: Soften the Ice Cream
Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until it’s easy to scoop but not melted. If you’re using Biscoff spread, you can warm it slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spread.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Take one Biscoff cookie and place a generous scoop of softened ice cream on top. If desired, add a thin layer of Biscoff spread before placing a second cookie on top to create a sandwich. Gently press the cookies together to ensure the ice cream spreads evenly.
Step 4: Roll in Toppings (Optional)
If you want to add extra flair, roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in crushed Biscoff cookies, chocolate chips, or sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
Step 5: Freeze
Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1-2 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up.
Step 6: Serve
Once the sandwiches are frozen and set, remove them from the freezer, slice them in half if desired, and enjoy!
