Instructions
Prep the mixer
Chill the mixer bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer 30 minutes (or refrigerator 1 hour).
Whip the cream
Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Whip on medium-high until soft peaks form (tip folds over gently). Stop at soft peaks; over-whipping can turn grainy or separate into butter.
Blend the cheesecake base
In the same bowl (no need to wash), add softened cream cheese, condensed milk, cardamom, cinnamon, and allspice if using.
Beat on medium until smooth and combined, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the bowl once. Taste a tiny bit and adjust cardamom for a milder batch if needed.
Fold and add biscuits
Fold the whipped cream in by hand with a spatula in 2 to 3 additions until no white streaks remain.
Fold in crushed biscuits from the 10 biscuits until evenly distributed.
Spread into a freezer-safe container. Tap lightly on the counter to level. Cover with lid or press plastic wrap to the surface.
Freeze
Freeze at least 8 hours, or overnight, until firm enough to scoop.
Before serving, let sit on the counter 5 minutes for easier scooping. Sprinkle reserved biscuit crumble on top.
Notes
Cold cream cheese leaves lumps; soften blocks fully for a smoother freeze.Crush biscuits to pea-sized bits plus some powder; all powder melts into one texture, big chunks stay crisp.Icy results usually mean low-fat cream, added water, or a very shallow container; use full-fat dairy and a loaf pan no more than 3 inches deep.Keeps well up to 1 week covered in the freezer; press wrap to the surface again if the top crystals over.Kid-friendly: use 3/4 teaspoon cardamom, skip allspice, and top each scoop with extra plain biscuit crumble.
