I love easy desserts to serve after a delicious meal. Just like my creme mascarpone dessert, this lotus milkshake is so much fun to serve to friends and family. It hits the spot. Especially when you make a cookie crown around the glass and serve it with extra whipped cream. Watch the kid's (and adults!) faces light up. This is the stuff dreams are made of!

💪 MAKING A MILKSHAKE WITHOUT A BLENDER
Making a milkshake without a blender is possible, although it might require a little more effort. Here's a simple method using a few basic kitchen tools:
TOOLS
- Large bowl
- Fork or whisk
- Spoon
- Soften the Ice Cream: Take the ice cream out of the freezer before letting it soften slightly. This will make it easier to mix.
- Mash the Ice Cream: In a large bowl, use a fork or spoon to mash and stir the softened ice cream. Break it down until it's relatively smooth. Add the Biscoff.
- Continue Mixing: Mix vigorously with the fork or whisk to mix the ice cream and Biscoff. This may take a bit of effort to achieve a smooth consistency. Keep adding milk gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
📝 TIPS AND TRICKS
Quality Ingredients: Start with high-quality dairy-free vanilla ice cream and authentic Biscoff cookie butter for the best flavor.
Biscoff Cookie Butter Temperature: If your Biscoff cookie butter is too stiff, gently heat it in the microwave or stovetop until it's more pliable. This will make it easier to blend into the milkshake.
Adjust Milk to Your Preference: Vary the amount of milk to achieve your desired milkshake thickness—less milk for a thicker shake and more milk for a thinner one.
Blending Technique: Blend the ingredients gradually to ensure a smooth consistency. Start with the ice cream and cookie butter, then add the milk. Blend in short bursts to avoid overheating or over-blending, which can result in a runny shake.
Sweetness: Adjust sweetness if necessary. If you want it sweeter, add a bit of honey, maple syrup, or more cookie butter.
Chill Ingredients: Ensure your ice cream is properly frozen and your milk is cold. This helps maintain the milkshake's thick and creamy texture.
Presentation: 😉 Serve your Biscoff milkshake in a chilled glass or mason jar. Add whipped dairy-free cream and crushed Biscoff cookies for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
Serve Immediately: Biscoff milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh. Serve immediately to savor the full flavor and texture.
❓FAQS
Unique flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves are found in these thin, crispy, caramelized Lotus Biscoff cookies. Known as "speculoos" in Europe, they've gained popularity worldwide for their unique warm flavors.
Biscoff cookies are the key ingredient in Biscoff cookie butter, a heavenly spread taking the world by storm. Think of it as peanut butter's equally delicious, cookie-centric cousin. It's like a jar of pure joy!
Yes, you can melt Biscoff cookie butter. Biscoff cookie butter has a spreadable consistency similar to peanut butter, but it can be melted if you'd like to use it in a liquid or drizzled form for various recipes. Here's how you can melt Biscoff cookie butter:
Method 1: Microwave
Spoon it into a microwave-safe container: Transfer the desired Biscoff cookie butter into a bowl or container.
Heat in short intervals: Microwave the container in 10-15-second seconds, stirring between intervals. This will help prevent overheating and ensure even melting.
Method 2: Stovetop
Double boiler method: You can also melt Biscoff cookie butter on the stovetop using a double boiler.
Stir constantly: Stir the cookie butter as it melts over the gentle heat.
Start from the low to the medium setting and adjust if necessary.
The ice Cream is not cold enough: For a thick and creamy shake, it's essential to use ice cream that is adequately frozen. The shake may be runny if the ice cream is too soft or partially melted. Make sure your ice cream is adequately chilled.
Choosing a Low-Fat Milk: Whole or higher-fat milk alternatives tend to create creamier shakes.
Not enough ice cream or too much milk: The ratio of ice cream to milk is crucial. Add more ice cream to achieve a thicker consistency.
MAKE-AHEAD AND STORAGE
MAKE-AHEAD: It is best to drink your milkshake immediately
SHORT-TERM STORAGE (1-2 Hours):
- Refrigeration: If you plan to consume the milkshake within a few hours, store it in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container or cover the glass with plastic wrap to prevent the milkshake from absorbing any odors.
- Avoid Separation: Milkshakes may separate over time. Before serving, give it a good stir or shake to blend the ingredients back together.
