Recipe ingredients
Vanilla ice cream. French vanilla or vanilla bean are best. Or use your favorite dairy-free ice cream to make a vegan cookie butter milkshake.
Milk. Whole fat or 2%. Again this can be a plant-based alternative like almond milk or soy milk.
Cookie butter. Creamy, rich, and sweet spreadable butter made with spiced cookie crumbs.
Cookies. Choose whichever type you like. Shortbread cookies, such a s Biscoff, are popular to use to compliment the taste of the cookie butter. You want some to blend into the shake, and also have a few extra cookie to crumble on top as a garnish.
Whipped cream. Just the right finishing touch to garnish the shake.
How to make cookie butter milkshake recipe
This recipe is very easy and your biscoff milkshake will be ready withing 5 minutes. Prepare your ice cream. You can use your favorite flavor or just go with a simple vanilla ice cream.
For one portion you will need one cup of ice cream. Make sure its still frozen, otherwise the milkshake will be too runny. Put ice cream in the blender. Add full fat milk and couple cookies. It could be biscoff cookies or any kind of straw cookies.
Now, blend until smooth. Don't blend too long or it will melt the ice cream. Serve in the tall glass with whipped cream on top and crumbled cookies. It will look fantastic!
What is cookie butter made from
The foundation of cookie butter is a spiced shortbread cookie, typically a speculoos (or Biscoff). These cookies are blended with oil or butter, flour, and sugar to create a thick yet spreadable "butter." The texture is similar to nut butters, with a slight bit of graininess.

What does it taste like
The flavor of speculoos cookies is similar to traditional gingerbread cookies, but a bit more buttery and sweet. It is very spice-full, rich and delicious... And the creamy consistency makes a cookie butter milkshake taste even more decadent!
Where to buy
Cookie butter once was only available at speciality international stores. However, as it has become more and more popular the spread is now available at most grocery stores. It will likely either be in the Global Foods section or right there next to other dessert spreads like Nutella.
Frequently asked questions
The spread is made with buttery spiced cookies - which already contain flour, sugar, and butter - PLUS more flour, sugar and butter. So really, how could it not be good?
Consistency-wise, nut butter or other creamy and thick dessert spreads (like Nutella) make a good substitute for cookie butter. But note that the flavor of the shake will be very different depending on what spread is used.
Cashew butter and almond butter have the most neutral taste, compared to peanut butter. Add a pinch of pumpkin pie spice to give the milkshake a bit of that speculoos cookie flavor.
Use 1 cup of ice cream and ½ cup of milk for a thick and creamy cookie butter milkshake. Keep this ratio as you increase the ingredients to make larger servings.
Make milkshakes thick by blending in more vanilla ice cream. Try an extra half cup of ice cream to start.
It also helps to thicken the shake in the freezer for a few minutes if it starts to get melty.
Blend in extra milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the thickness is just right for your tastes.
No, it is not a good idea to blend ice into a milkshake. While adding ice helps to thicken other frozen drinks like smoothies, it will actually wind up watering down a shake.
Recipe notes
- Enjoy as soon as it's blended.
- Use other ice cream flavors if desired.
- Do not store leftovers in the fridge. Freeze them and blend again when ready to use.
- Not a low calorie food.
Equipment
I used my high speed Vitamix blender for this recipe but absolutely any blender will work. It doesn't need to be high speed. You probably can even blend it using hand mixer if that's all you have. Just use a tall bowl or glass other the milkshake will try to escape while blending.
Storage
I don't recommend store milkshake leftovers because they will simply melt in the fridge. You can pour them in the freezer safe container and store in the freezer for couple months but there is still a risk that the milk will separate while defrosting. The best way will be to transfer frozen milkshake straight in to the blender and blend with a little bit of additional milk until smooth.
