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.

  2. Add the cookie butter: Add the cookie butter to the whipped butter and mix well.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients: Add in the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and salt. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while mixing on low. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  4. Whip the buttercream: Mix the buttercream on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until it is smooth and creamy. Mix on low speed for several minutes to remove any air bubbles.
