Lotus Biscoff cookies happen to be one of my favorite guilty treats. That’s why I make a lot of effort into creating recipes that incorporate these buttery sweet cookies in a healthy way. This Lotus Biscoff nice cream is just that – it’s an easy three-ingredient recipe that uses frozen bananas to provide the creaminess of real ice cream, with the Lotus Biscoff cookies providing the distinctive deep caramel flavor.
Is Nice Cream Healthier than Regular Ice Cream?
Yes! Nice Cream is a healthy, alternative ice cream that uses more wholesome ingredients such as frozen bananas as the primary ingredient. And it works because when frozen and blended in the food processor, the banana’s thick consistency tastes and feels like a creamy scoop of ice cream.
Here are all the reasons why I love this Biscoff nice cream:
- no churn, made in the food processor or a high-power blender
- only 3 ingredients
- low calorie, low fat, and healthy
- vegan (yes, Biscoff cookies are actually vegan)

How to Make this Lotus Biscoff Ice Cream Healthier
- Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, or seeds to add texture and nutrition before freezing.
- For a small protein boost, you can also add a tablespoon or two of protein powder of your choice when blending. I’ve tried using an unsweetened plant-based protein powder with good results.
What are some ways you can eat these?
- In a bowl or cup, drizzled with honey, maple syrup, caramel or chocolate syrup
- Stacked on a waffle or sugar cone
How to Store Biscoff Nice Cream
- This nice cream needs to be stored in the freezer and tastes best within a few days, but it can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best nice cream consistency, take the container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins when you’re ready to eat. If it’s in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.
Final Tips
- Use ripened bananas for the best results!
- While a food processor will give you the best consistency for the nice cream, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender, and add 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
