Easy Biscoff Latte Recipe (Hot & Iced Cookie Butter Coffee)

Instructions

1. 01

   Measure Cookie Butter into Mug: Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons (22.5g) of creamy Lotus Biscoff spread directly into the bottom of a 10-to-12-ounce mug (for hot latte) or a heat-safe measuring cup (for iced latte). If your kitchen is cool and the spread is firm, microwave the mug for 5 seconds to soften.

2. 02

   Brew Hot Espresso Over Spread: Pull 2 fresh shots (2 fl oz / 60 ml) of hot espresso (or pour 1/3 cup concentrated dark coffee) directly over the cookie butter. Let it sit undisturbed for 15 seconds so the residual heat softens the spread.

3. 03

   Whisk Until Silky & Emulsified: Using a small wire whisk, a fork, or a handheld electric milk frother on low speed, whisk the espresso and Biscoff spread for 20 seconds until the cookie butter dissolves into a glossy, spiced caramel syrup with zero unblended paste. Stir in 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract if desired.

4. 04

   Method 1 (Classic Hot Latte): Heat 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk to 150°F–155°F (65°C–68°C)—steaming and hot, but not boiling. Froth until creamy with roughly 1/2 inch of velvety microfoam. Pour the steamed milk over the Biscoff espresso syrup, holding back foam until the mug is almost full, then spoon microfoam over top. Garnish with whipped cream, warmed Biscoff drizzle, and crushed biscuit crumbs if desired.

5. 05

   Method 2 (Refreshing Iced Latte): Fill a tall 16-oz glass to the brim with fresh ice cubes and pour in 3/4 cup (180 ml) of cold milk (optionally drizzling 1 tsp melted Biscoff inside the glass walls first). Slowly pour the warm Biscoff-espresso syrup over the cold milk and ice. Stir gently with a straw to blend the layers, and garnish with whipped cream and crushed biscuit crumbs.

— Chef's Notes & Practical Tips —

• ✦Always Dissolve Hot: Lotus Biscoff spread contains plant oils that firm up in cold temperatures. Always dissolve the spread in hot espresso first before adding cold milk or ice to prevent hardening into dense bits.
• ✦Use Creamy Spread: Crunchy Biscoff spread contains coarse biscuit pieces that settle at the bottom of the cup. Stick to creamy spread for the drink and use whole biscuits for the crunchy topping.
• ✦Warm the Drizzle: Microwave a teaspoon of spread in a small ramekin for 5 seconds to liquefy it into a pencil-thin stream that drizzles cleanly over whipped cream.
• ✦Mind Milk Temperature: Never steam milk above 160°F (71°C), as overheated milk develops a flat, cooked taste that dulls the delicate cinnamon and clove notes of speculoos.
