So you know the best thing about these Whipped Biscoff and Chocolate Cream Parfaits?
You can freeze the leftovers and turn them into ice cream.
But wait. That’s not even the best part.
The BEST part?
You can do this WITHOUT an ice cream maker!
If you didn’t just shriek with excitement over that you’re dead to me.
Okay no you’re not, I still love you.
But honestly, this is good. You should believe me. And be excited!
I never felt left out for not having an ice cream maker until this summer. In fact, I spent the majority of Fall searching for THE PERFECT doughnut pan, and when I finally got it, I felt like life was complete.
Then summer came and all the cool food bloggers who had ice cream makers could make their own homemade ice cream and frozen yogurts and I was just left to drool over it and add, then take out (then add, then take out, then add, then take out, then add) a variety of different ice cream makers to my Amazon.com cart.
Eventually I decided I would just put it in the “save for later” area – that way I didn’t have to deal with making the ‘adult’ decision not to spend $60 on something that I didn’t really need – even though really, I need it.
Need as in, I needed to have an L.L. Bean backpack with my initials on it in middle school that I could wear so low on my back that it would actually bump against my butt with each step that I took.
Need as in, I needed to get the same exact haircut and color as Kristin Cavallari on Laguna Beach and it didn’t matter that my hair was long, curly and brown because cutting it short and dying it blonde just had to be done.
Need.
But then that need changed – just as suddenly as my need for an L.L. Bean backpack morphed into a need for a NorthFace and my need for Kristin’s haircut turned into a life-long scar that lead to a two-year-long fear of ever cutting and/or dying my hair again.
It changed because I discovered ice cream was possible without an ice cream maker. And if that can’t turn a need around, I don’t know what can.*
Whipped Chocolate Biscoff Ice Cream (adapted from Martha Stewart)
Ingredients:
- Whipped Biscoff and Chocolate Cream Parfaits
- Sugar cones
- Put leftovers (or an entire batch!) of the Whipped Biscoff and Chocolate Cream Parfaits into a tupperware.
- Swirl together until semi-well combined
- Freeze for up to 3 hours (or until well-set)
- Scoop well-set mixture into ice cream cones
Start scooping ladies and gentlemen…you need to.
* It should be noted that the ice cream maker is still sitting in the “save for later” area of my Amazon.com cart. When need becomes want, that’s where things go.

Cait says
Aw thanks Deb! 🙂
Kaitlin @4loveofcarrots says
these look so good and those buckets are too cute!
Cait says
Thanks! 🙂 I got the buckets at Michael’s for like $2!
aja says
LL Bean backpacks with initials were a WAY OF LIFE in our school, right??
Also I was always an LC girl, myself. She is a hair icon! Did you really try the Kristen cut??? I have no memory of this!
Cait says
Haha yes!! They were.
And yeah, sadly I did. It was horrendous. I came home from the salon, cried and made my mom die it back and then wouldn’t cut my hair again for 2 years. I didn’t leave the house much so maybe that’s why 🙂
aja says
We’ve all been there. My lowest was when I tried to strip my hair after dying it dark and it turned out orange. I looked like Garfield and had to pay a fortune to fix it.
Cait says
I never knew that happened to you!! It makes me feel a lot better than I’m not alone though. Remember your brush tool thing that you plugged into the wall and brushed your hair with and it was supposed to straighten it? I vividly remember walking into your room and you using that and my thinking how much I needed it too.
aja says
That thing sucked. I feel like our generation got really crappy hair tools. Either that or it just took me 20 years to find out what a flat iron was! Hahaha, aw Caitlyn, I miss you. Come backkkk!
Cait says
Haha I know – we really did. All the good stuff came out later one our awkward years were somewhat over. It was really unfair. I miss you too!!!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
This looks great!!! I also went through the “Why am I not cool like all these other food bloggers with their fancy ice cream machines?” phase this summer. I remedied it by paying large sums of money to Ben & Jerry, though. lol
Cait says
Hahaha – yup! That was pretty much what I did too only at FroYo shops 🙂 It works too!
Kelly says
I really need to try Biscoff, don’t I? Love your presentation..as always…perfection!
Cait says
Yes you definitely do need to try it! I think (hope!) you will love it! I prefer it much better baked in things than alone (it’s a little too sweet alone and I know you don’t have much of a sweet tooth) 🙂
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I was trying to ignore that parfait because I have a serious Biscoff addiction problem and I can’t eat it right now… but OMG this ice cream is sending me over the edge. It needs to happen on my next cheat day. Amazing creation, Cait!
Cait says
Thanks Laura! Let me know how you like it if you try it – totally worth using your cheat day for in my opinion! 😉
Margaret says
Ummmm, I think I love you.
And I seriously laughed out loud at the LL Bean backpack comment. That was totally me, too!
Cait says
Haha – I love that you got that! 🙂
Rachel says
I’m loving all these recipes lately 🙂
Cait says
I’m so glad! 🙂
Grace says
Probably every girl goes through one life-changing haircut (good or bad, but mostly the later). Good thing any experience can make us stronger 😉
Cait says
Haha exactly…or at least wiser! 🙂
Kristen @ Swanky Dietitian says
Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! I am at work right now (reading blogs, shh!) and wishing I could enjoy a scoop of this. 🙂
I was always wanting to look like LC. I definitely copied a few of her outfit ideas on the show.
Cait says
Haha I’ve been there before – your secret is safe with me 🙂 Wish I could send you a scoop through the computer!!
And HAHA – yes! I’m so glad I’m not alone there. I totally did the same!
Suz @ avocadoandbasil says
Wow, such beautiful photos!
Cait says
Thank you! 🙂
