Crush the speculoos: place them in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin to get a mix of coarse crumbs and powder. Set aside.

Make the coffee whipped cream: in a very cold bowl, pour the very cold cream, coffee extract (or instant coffee) and powdered sugar (if using). Whip vigorously until firm peaks form. Refrigerate.

Take out the coffee ice cream and let it soften for 10-15 minutes.

Spread half of the coffee whipped cream (about 50 ml) over the ice cream.

Decorate generously with whole speculoos and additional crumbs. For a professional finish, dust with a little cinnamon or cocoa.
- Very cold cream: This is the secret to whipped cream that whips well. Place bowl and whisk in the freezer 10 minutes before.
- Coffee extract vs instant: Extract gives a purer flavor; finely ground instant avoids grains and brings a different intensity.
- Packing the layers: Essential to avoid air pockets and get a compact, homogeneous texture.
- Decoration right before: The speculoos crumbs on the surface will keep their crunch if added after unmolding.
