Precise reconstruction of the cosmic microwave background lensing potential can be achieved with deep polarization surveys by iteratively removing lensing-induced B modes. We introduce a lensing spectrum estimator and its likelihood for such optimal iterative reconstruction. Our modelling share similarities to the state-of-the-art likelihoods for quadratic estimator-based (QE) lensing reconstruction. In particular, we generalize the N_L⁽⁰⁾ and N_L⁽¹⁾ lensing biases, and design a realization-dependent spectrum debiaser, making this estimator robust to uncertainties in the data modelling. We demonstrate unbiased recovery of the cosmology using map-based reconstructions, focussing on lensing-only cosmological constraints and neutrino mass measurement in combination with CMB spectra and acoustic oscillation data. We find this spectrum estimator is essentially optimal and with a diagonal covariance matrix. For a CMB-S4 survey, this likelihood can double the constraints on the lensing amplitude compared to the QE on a wide range of scales, while at the same time keeping numerical cost under control and being robust to errors.
