Ingredients
- Espresso or strong coffee: Essential for bringing robust flavor Use freshly brewed coffee and let it cool before mixing
- Biscoff cookie butter spread: The star ingredient Offering rich caramel and spice notes Look for smooth Biscoff spread and give it a good stir before measuring
- Cold milk (dairy or plant-based): Adds creaminess and balance Use whole milk for extra richness or oat milk for a plant-based version with great foam
- Crushed Biscoff cookie: For topping Adds crunch and amplifies the cookie flavor Use freshly crushed cookies for best texture
- Sugar or sweetener of choice: Optional Helps you fine-tune the sweetness Taste before adding as the Biscoff is already sweet
- Ice cubes: Keeps the drink frosty and refreshing Use clean filtered water for the clearest ice
- Whipped cream: Optional topping Adds a luscious café-style finish Choose a dairy or plant-based whip to fit your preferences
Instructions
- Dissolve the Biscoff Spread:
- In a small bowl or cup combine the Biscoff cookie butter and hot espresso or strong brewed coffee Stir thoroughly until the spread is completely melted and the mixture turns silky smooth This step is essential for an even texture and full flavor in your drink
- Prepare the Glass:
- Fill a tall glass all the way with ice cubes The more ice the longer your latte stays cold and refreshing
- Mix It Up:
- Pour the melted Biscoff and coffee blend right over the ice in your glass Watch as the luscious mixture swirls between the cubes
- Add the Milk:
- Slowly pour the cold milk into the glass letting it mix naturally over the Biscoff-coffee blend Stir gently with a spoon to create a uniform creamy consistency
- Sweeten to Taste:
- Taste your iced latte and decide if it needs a little extra sugar or sweetener Add only if desired since the Biscoff spread already adds sweetness Give a final stir
- Finish With Flair:
- If you like top with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookie for a special touch This not only adds flavor but makes your latte look like it came from your favorite café
