What is Biscoff?

If you’ve never tried Biscoff biscuits, come sit by me. We need to talk.

Biscoff biscuits are wonderfully moorish caramelised shortcrust biscuits with a hint of cinnamon. They have a gorgeous crunchy bite and if they are your thing - which they are mine - you'll be hard pressed to stop at one. Or five.

Made by Belgian biscuit company Lotus since 1932, Biscoff biscuits are designed to be served alongside coffee. You can find them served in cafes in Europe on the plate next to a hot drink.

The Biscoff spread, which we are using to make our Biscoff milkshake, is kind of like peanut butter but with a sweet spiced caramel flavour. To make the spread (which comes in crunchy and smooth), Biscoff biscuits are crushed up into a smooth paste similar to how we make almond or cashew butter.

Oh, and it's free of nuts and vegan. Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner.

What You'll Need

Biscoff milkshake ingredients grid with labels.

Dairy-free milk. Because we want our milkshake thick and delicious, not watery and sad, choose a milk with a bit of body. Oat milk and soy milk are great in shakes. Coconut milk has the consistency we want but tends to take over the flavour. Make sure your milk is ice-cold.

Vegan ice-cream. A good quality vanilla ice-cream is perfect here. I love Oatly vanilla ice-cream and, specifically in Australia, Over the Moo vanilla or caramel (not a paid link)

Update. I just tried this with Pana Organic Vanilla Bean vegan ice-cream (not a paid link) and it was ridiculous! So creamy and delicious.

Biscoff Of course! While I prefer the smooth spread, by all means use the crunchy if texture is your thing.

Salt. Just a tiny touch to bring out those flavours.

Ice. Optional for extra chill.

How to Make a Biscoff Milkshake

I'm not going to lie, there is not much to making this Biscoff milkshake. Simply throw the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and delicious.

Tips for the Ultimate Milkshake Experience

Chill your glasses. If you have the room in your freezer, chill tall glasses before making your shake. This means your drink will stay cooler for longer.
Soften the ice-cream. If you've tried to dive into a pint of vegan ice-cream straight from the freezer, you'll know it can be an elbow-destroying experience. Those bad boys can freeze hard. Leave your dairy-free ice cream out on the counter for 10 minutes or so before going into the blender.
Layer the blender. Layer the ingredients in a blender in this order - milk, Biscoff, softened nice-cream (vegan ice-cream) and salt (optional)
Start slow and work your way up. Begin blending on a low speed and work your up to medium until your milkshake is thick and smooth.
Have fun. Top your milkshake with dairy-free whipped cream and crushed Biscoff cookies for extra WOW and texture. It's not in the recipe, but you only live once, right?

FAQs

Is this milkshake gluten free?

Sorry, no. Biscoff spread is made with wheat flour biscuits and as far as I know they don't make a gluten-free version.

Can I make my Biscoff milkshake healthier?

Weeeeellll...yes. I guess. If you have to. You can use an organic no-sugar added milk and halve the ice-cream amount and swap it for frozen yoghurt. Having said that, this is a proper milkshake with no claims to healthy living. This shake is all about feeding your soul and pandering to your inner child.

How do I make this Biscoff shake a thick shake?

Now you're speaking my language. To make a Biscoff thick shake, reduce the milk by half and bump up the ice-cream to 3 cups. You made need to add a little more Biscoff to make sure the flavour isn't swamped by the other ingredients.

Should I use smooth or crunchy Biscoff Spread?

I use and prefer the smooth spread but if you can totally use the crunchy variety for added texture.
