I hate that I sneak spoonfuls on the reg, and I am really not that type of person (O on the other hand…). I hate that I don’t feel this way about sorbets or carrots or chocolate smoothies.

No, I hate this recipe because I can never make it 100% healthy, of course; I hate it because I love it so much. Like, so much, you guys. So. Much.

Complete with Speculoos crumbs and a Cookie Butter swirl mixed in.This recipe was inspired by the type of tea I wish I had–small cups of Earl Grey flanked by spiced, rich little Speculoos or Biscoff rectangles. The type of tea you’re totally invited for, whenever you’re in the neighborhood. Let’s make this *a thing*, shall we?Cookie Butter Earl Grey ice cream (vegan). Just as good--maybe even better--than it sounds! Complete with Speculoos crumbs and a Cookie Butter swirl mixed in.I might even get a little enthusiastic and serve this Cookie Butter Earl Grey ice cream instead! We both deserve it, honestly. Besides, while it might not be the healthiest thing you’ve eaten all week, it’s vegan and our part of the recipe is refined sugar free (I can’t speak for Speculoos cookies or Cookie Butter, though)!

It’s full of tiny chunks of Speculoos cookies and the scent of bergamot wafts off of the creamy coconut base. There’s even a Cookie Butter swirl! Why?

Because. Because we can. Because I said so! That’s a damn good reason, no?

Cookie Butter Earl Grey Ice Cream (Vegan)

Rich, spiced Cookie Butter mingles with Earl Grey-infused coconut milk to create one seriously delicious vegan ice cream. Soft and flavorful, it doesn't get any better than this. You can skip the Earl Grey infusion if you want, but I liked the fragrant bergamot aroma it added to the whole thing.

      It’s basically a blended “butter” made from cookies.. how amazing does that sound?! You can find Biscoff Spread at regular groceries and Cookie Butter at Trader Joe’s!

    I just went out for ice cream tonight and although I was shivering while I was eating it I kept thinking how I love ice cream no matter what season it is! I try not to go to Trader Joes too often because I usually leave after spending hundreds of dollars on “healthy” snack food, but I’ve been thinking that I need to go soon so I can get my hands on this cookie butter stuff! This ice cream looks and sounds awesome, Cheryl!

      I’ve fallen head over heels in love with the baked “Doritos” they have at Trader Joe’s. So healthy, right? But my Lord, they are *delicious*. Last time I was there I spent like $75 on pumpkin-flavored stuff.. so fun, though, right?! I’ve been meaning to make a pumpkin ice cream recipe, actually!

      Right?! I bought my mom a jar and it went unopened for months (which is sort of scary).. and she said she was *scared* to open it because she knew she’d love it. I made her open it, of course, and she ate a spoonful and was like.. omg. DAMMIT!

    Oh my – this would be so dangerous in my house! I love cookie butter (I can’t buy it often because of the eating spoonfuls problem! haha) and earl grey tea … And now I want some dessert…

    Am I the only one on the planet that has no clue what cookie butter is (really… I had to look it up!)!?!!? But, now that I know… I can see why you’d be crazy over this ice cream! And Earl Grey – my most favorite tea… I’ll be right over?! Oh, Cheryl, you’re constantly making my ‘to do’ list longer! Will you knock it off!? Your photography is so beautiful. Just inspiring! Thank you!!

    What an awesomely ridiculous combination, Cheryl. I have a feeling I’d love it as much as you, which is why I never keep ice cream in the house. (I’ve become quite a bit of a cookie/dessert monster recently, so I try to avoid the temptation whenever I can, haha.)

    However, I’ve never made vegan ice cream, and it’s clearly high time I tried my hand at it…

    My fiancé loves tea and he loves ice cream. I bet he’d love this! I should probably invest in an ice cream maker at some point…
