Coffee lovers, what can be more delicious than a Biscoff latte? This four-step treat is simple to make, yet it's something extra special.
A perfect after-dinner treat, ideal if you love creamy coffee and deep caramel flavors.
Biscoff cookie spread was made famous by the Lotus Biscoff cookie brand. Paired with an espresso shot and foamed milk, it makes for a delicious biscoff coffee with a rich, buttery, melt-in-you-mouth texture.
Try this Peanut Butter Coffee or Iced Caramel Macchiato if you love trying homemade drinks.
Why you'll love this recipe
- Comfort in a cup: A rich and smooth taste of coffee with the sweet, caramelized notes of Biscoff cookies. A perfect choice for warmth and comfort. This delicious coffee drink is overflowing with nostalgia and will treat your taste buds.
- A sweet treat without TOO much sugar: Biscoff cookies naturally have a sweet flavor, which means the Biscoff coffee can offer a delightful sweetness without being overly sugary.
- Coffee shop experience: Biscoff lattes are often associated with specialty coffee shops or cafes, adding a touch of exclusivity to the experience. Treating yourself to this Biscoff coffee can elevate your coffee break and make it feel more special and luxurious.
- Suitable for non-coffee drinkers: The pronounced Biscoff taste can help mask the bitterness of coffee, making it more enjoyable for those unfamiliar with traditional coffee beverages.
Ingredients & substitution notes
- Milk: Whole milk or the barista version of a milk alternative is the best choice for a creamy and velvety texture. For a dairy-free or vegan version of the latte I recommend soy milk or a barista-version of almond milk which froths well, my favorite being Barista oat milk. Low-fat milk is fine, too but it doesn't always froth as well.
- Espresso: Use freshly brewed espresso for the base of this latte. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can substitute it with strong brewed coffee. I like a dark roast in mine.
- Biscoff cream: Biscoff cream or Biscoff spread is the star ingredient that gives the latte its distinct flavor. It is a creamy and sweet spread made from Biscoff cookies.

How to make a biscoff coffee
STEP 1: Add the milk, and Biscoff spread to a medium-sized saucepan.
STEP 2: Bring the liquid to a simmer and whisk until the Biscoff has dissolved. The mixture should be smooth. Don't let the liquid boil.
STEP 3: Prepare a ⅓ cup of strong black coffee or brew a shot of espresso. Pour it into your favorite mug. I like using a glass cup or a mason jar so the caramel color is visible.
STEP 4: Top the coffee with the warm biscoff mixture. Garnish with ground cookies and whipped cream (optional). Whip whole milk with a milk frother for a "lite" topping.
Top tips
- Heat the milk properly: When heating the milk for your latte, avoid boiling it, as it can scorch and develop a burnt taste. Heat the milk gently over medium-low heat until it is steaming hot and frothable. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- If you like strong coffee: Use a good quality espresso or coffee to create a robust base. Try this Cold Brew Concentrate or my French Press Cold Brew out, too!
- Adjust sweetness: If desired, gradually add sweeteners such as brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup, tasting as you go until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
- Experiment with garnishes: Get creative with your latte's presentation by adding various garnishes. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or cocoa powder on top of the foam to add flavor and visual appeal. You can also place a Biscoff cookie as a garnish on the side of the cup.
- Customize with other flavors: If you want to experiment further, consider adding complementary flavors to your Biscoff coffee. For instance, a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg can add depth and complexity to the drink.
- Control the latte-to-coffee ratio: Adjust the amount of milk and espresso to your preference. For example, if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use less milk or more espresso. Conversely, increase the milk-to-espresso ratio if you prefer a creamier and milder taste.
- Serve immediately: This Biscoff drink is best enjoyed when served immediately after preparation.
Variations
- Dairy-Free/Vegan: Substitute the milk with your preferred non-dairy alternative, such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk. I always try to get barista versions because they froth really well. Additionally, Biscoff spread is vegan so that it can be used without any modifications.
- Iced Biscoff latte: Brew a strong batch of coffee such as my Cold Brew Concentrate or French Press Cold Brew. Once the coffee is ready, allow it to cool. Dissolve the Biscoff spread in warm milk but allow the milk to cool completely. Add ice cubes to a serving glass, followed by the cold coffee and milk and stir well until everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Decaf Biscoff latte: Swap your buzzy caffeinated coffee for Decaf.
Optional add-ins
- Chocolate twist: You can stir in a teaspoon of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup into the hot milk before frothing it.
- Caramel infusion: Go deep by drizzling caramel sauce into the milk before frothing.
- Nutty: Whip in a bit of peanut butter.
- Spiced Biscoff latte: Introduce warm and cozy flavors to your Biscoff latte by incorporating a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom spices.
- Biscoff Latte affogato: Pour the hot espresso or strong coffee over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle Biscoff spread on top.

Storage
If you have a leftover latte, storing it in the refrigerator is best. Transfer the latte to an airtight container or a sealed bottle and refrigerate it promptly. Make sure the container is clean and odor-free to avoid any flavor contamination. Consume within 1-2 days.
