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 hate this recipe.

I hate that I love Cookie Butter so much. 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.

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?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 rich and spiced and soft and creamy and perfect. 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?

You’ll love this recipe because it can be made entirely in a blender. You’ll love this recipe because it tastes like Cookie Butter. You’ll love this recipe because the flavors are so complete and warming yet cooling all in one. The perfect almost-fall-weather treat, so make ‘er today!

Hey – you’ve made it this far, so now we’re basically best friends! If you make this recipe, I’d love for you to give it a quick review & star rating ★ below. Make sure you follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, and Facebook, too!

6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 bags Earl Grey tea optional
  • ½ cup cashews soaked
  • 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
  • 6 Speculoos or Biscoff cookies plus 6 more crumbled cookies
  • ½ cup agave nectar
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ cup Cookie Butter

Instructions 

  • If infusing with Earl Grey: in a small saucepan over low heat, place coconut milk and whisk ’til smooth. Add Earl Grey tea bags and cook about 10 minutes, or until infused and fragrant. Remove tea bags and cool completely.
  • In a blender, preferably high-speed, combine coconut milk infusion, cashews, Grand Marnier, 6 Speculoos or Biscoff cookies, agave nectar, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend until totally smooth and freeze according to ice cream maker directions.
  • When mixture resembles soft serve, gently mix in the Speculoos or Biscoff crumbs and Cookie Butter. Keep in an air-tight container in the freezer. Tastes awesome in a waffle cone!

Notes

  • You can skip the Earl Grey infusion if you want, but I liked the fragrant bergamot aroma it added to the whole thing.

    I’m mystified by the nutrition info. Two gram (!) serving is 1245 calories?

      Oops, no, sorry! This post fell victim to a glitch affecting some of our much older posts! Some things didn’t translate correctly after a site migration a while back. The nutrition info is updated now, though! Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Marsha!

      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!
