Speculaas with Ice Cream

Creamy ice cream and crunchy speculaas (or Biscoff) cookies provide a great bite and taste. Every bite is a party and immediately brings you into the warm winter atmosphere. Of course, this is also the perfect dessert for Sinterklaas—a delicious treat to enjoy during the holidays!

Sinterklaas Ice Cream Sandwich

You make the creamy ice cream yourself and season it with speculaas spices and Daim Chocolate with pieces of caramel. Easy; you don't even need an ice cream maker.

Top Tip

I always make my own ice cream. You can also buy it ready-made and mix it with the speculaas spices and finely chopped Daim chocolate.

Let the ice cream soften for 10 minutes, mix the ingredients and freeze again.

Notes

1. Tips and Variations:

I always make ice cream from scratch. You can also buy it ready-made and mix the ingredients with it. Then let the ice cream soften for 15 minutes, mix the spices and chocolate pieces, and freeze it again.
If you don't have Speculaas spice mix, you can easily prepare it with this Speculaas spice mix recipe.

2. Serving: If you use it within 24 hours, you can scoop it straight out of the freezer. Otherwise, you may have to let the ice cream stand for 5 minutes before you can create beautiful balls.

3. Ice cream machine: If you want to make this in the ice cream machine, you can do that too. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer.

4. Storage

Freezer: You can store the ice cream with speculaas spices and Daim for one month. But if you see ice crystals appear on the top, it is better to throw it away.
