Biscoff Buttercream Frosting
Biscoff buttercream frosting is the perfect frosting for cookie butter lovers. The Biscoff frosting has a smooth and creamy texture and amazing Biscoff flavor. Pair this cookie butter buttercream with Biscoff cake or cupcakes, pumpkin, apple, chocolate, or any warm spice flavor.

Ingredients for Biscoff Buttercream Frosting
- Unsalted butter – Room temperature.
- Biscoff spread – Use your favorite cookie butter spread. I prefer the Lotus Biscoff cookie butter brand. You can also use Speculoos cookie butter or your favorite brand.
- Powdered sugar – Confectioners’ sugar/icing sugar.
- Vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract adds great vanilla flavor.
- Salt – A pinch of salt contrasts the sweetness of the frosting.
- Heavy cream – Heavy cream helps the buttercream become smooth and creamy.
