Creamy Speculoos Ninja Creami ice cream topped with Biscoff spread and crushed cookies, perfect for the festive season.

I’ve finally got my hands on the famous Ninja Creami, and I’ve already tried tons of recipes, but let me tell you—this Speculoos Ice Cream is hands down my favorite so far. If you're looking for the perfect Christmas dessert (or just a comforting treat), this ice cream checks all the boxes. It’s creamy, high-protein, and bursting with warm, festive spices. Plus, you get that indulgent Biscoff Speculoos flavor that’s just too good to resist.

Why You’ll Love This Speculoos Ninja Creami Ice Cream

What makes this ice cream even better is that it’s actually good for you (well, at least better than the store-bought stuff). It’s high in protein, thanks to the Greek yogurt and protein powder, so it’s a guilt-free indulgence. You get that creamy, rich texture that you'd expect from a traditional ice cream, but with far fewer calories and a boost of protein to help power you through the day.

I could literally make this every day and not get bored of it. It’s that simple to whip up, and the fact that it’s so customizable means you can switch it up with different toppings depending on your mood. But really, the combination of Speculoos and gingerbread spices just screams Christmas, and I’m all about that festive vibe!! 🎄

Festive homemade Speculoos ice cream with high-protein Greek yogurt, almond milk, and gingerbread spices, topped with Speculoos cookies.

Prep Time: 5 minutes I 2-4 servings

Ingredients:

Ice Cream Base:

1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt
1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder
½ tablespoon (8 g) Biscoff spread (Speculoos crème)
1 teaspoon (about 2 g) gingerbread spice mix

Optional Toppings:

½ tablespoon (8 g) Biscoff spread (Speculoos crème)
2 Speculoos cookies (about 15 g each)

Instructions:

Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, Biscoff spread, and gingerbread spice mix. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Freeze the Base: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container and freeze it for about 24 hours, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Churn the Ice Cream: Once frozen, place the container in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Ice Cream" setting and let it process until the texture is creamy. For extra smoothness, hit the "Re-Spin" function.
Add the Toppings: Drizzle the remaining Biscoff spread over the ice cream and crumble the Speculoos cookies on top. You’ll get a festive crunch with every bite!

Tips and Notes

Make Ahead: This ice cream base needs to freeze for 24 hours, so plan ahead! But once it’s ready, you’ll have ice cream at your fingertips in minutes.
Protein Boost: Feel free to add an extra scoop of protein powder if you want an even bigger protein punch—just make sure to adjust the liquids slightly to keep the texture smooth.
Toppings: If you’re not feeling cookies, try adding chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) or even some dark chocolate shavings for a different twist.
Sweetness: The Biscoff spread gives this ice cream a natural sweetness, but if you like it sweeter, feel free to add a bit of honey or maple syrup to the base.

Substitution ideas

Dairy-Free: If you're vegan or lactose intolerant, just swap out the Greek yogurt for coconut or almond yogurt, and choose a plant-based protein powder. You can also use coconut milk instead of almond milk.
Spice Variations: If you don’t have gingerbread spice mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of allspice would make a great substitute for that cozy, warm flavor.
Toppings Swap: Instead of Speculoos cookies, you can top your ice cream with crushed gingerbread cookies or even a sprinkle of crushed candy canes for a festive touch!
