Biscoff buttercream is basically frosting with a cookie obsession. And we’re here for it. It’s smooth, sweet, and loaded with that spiced cookie butter flavor that somehow makes everything taste cozier.

You only need a few pantry basics and one glorious jar of Biscoff to pull it off. And yes, it’s totally spoon-worthy. Pipe it onto our Biscoff butter cookies or use it to frost a beautiful layer cake.

Here’s Why This Biscoff Buttercream Recipe Works

Ultra-creamy texture: Softened butter and a splash of cream make this smooth enough to spread, swirl, or pipe without a fuss.

Big Biscoff flavor: This isn’t one of those “just a hint” situations. The cookie butter takes over in the best possible way, with bold caramel and spice in every bite.

No fancy equipment required: If you’ve got a hand mixer and a bowl, you’re set. No stand mixer? No problem.

Use it on just about anything: Cupcakes, cookies, layer cakes, spoons… whatever needs frosting. It plays nice with everything.

Ingredients for biscoff buttercream: biscoff cookie butter, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, butter, powdered sugar, and cream.

Recipe Tips

Use room-temp butter: Cold butter won’t whip properly, and melted butter will ruin the texture.
Add sugar gradually: Dumping it all at once can cause a powdered sugar explosion, and clumps
Don’t skip the cinnamon: It adds a warm background note that plays perfectly with the Biscoff.
Adjust the cream slowly: Start with less. You can always add more if it’s too thick.

This buttercream is what happens when Biscoff decides to become frosting. Smooth, sweet, and full of that caramel-y spice. It belongs on everything. Want something lighter and less sweet? Try coconut ermine frosting. It’s silky, smooth, and made without powdered sugar.

  • If the butter cream looks too stiff, add the heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time mixing well between each addition.

Notes

Want a little crunch? Use a crunchy Biscoff spread if you want a little extra texture and crunch in the buttercream, but remember the small chunks of cookie will not pipe through smaller piping tips.
Storage: You can store the buttercream at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks. You can also freeze the buttercream for 3 to 4 months.
It’s especially good on  Pumpkin Spice Cake, our Banana Layer Cake or these Carrot Cupcakes. Basically anything that plays well with warm spices and a rich, creamy finish.
