Ingredients & Equipment

The heart of this recipe lies in the espresso coffee, so choosing a bold, high-quality roast is essential. Whether you use a traditional espresso machine, a stovetop moka pot, or even a strong brew from an Aeropress, the richness of the coffee will anchor the flavors of the latte.

Biscoff cookie spread is the star ingredient, providing the signature caramelized and spiced flavors. Opt for the smooth version to blend seamlessly into the drink, ensuring a velvety texture. Its unique taste is what transforms this latte from ordinary to extraordinary.

For the milk, feel free to use what suits your preference—whole milk creates the creamiest texture, but oat or almond milk are great dairy-free alternatives. Whichever you choose, frothing the milk slightly (even with a handheld milk frother or whisk) will elevate the drink’s texture.

Brown sugar enhances the caramel tones in the Biscoff spread and adds a layer of depth. Light or dark brown sugar works, depending on how rich you want the sweetness to be.

A splash of vanilla extract rounds out the flavors, providing warmth and balancing the spice of the Biscoff cookies. Use pure vanilla extract if possible, as it offers a more natural and aromatic flavor.

For the finishing touch, whipped cream adds a decadent creaminess and serves as the perfect base for the garnish. To truly embrace the Biscoff theme, crumble a few Biscoff cookies on top for added texture and flavor. You can even dip a whole cookie into the latte for a café-style presentation.

As for equipment, having a coffee maker, a milk frother, and a sturdy whisk or spoon for mixing is ideal. A blender can also help if you want an ultra-smooth texture. These tools ensure each element comes together seamlessly for that café-quality result.

Ingredients for making Biscoff Cookie Latte:

• 1 shot of espresso (or ¼ cup of strong brewed coffee)
• 1 tablespoon Biscoff cookie spread
• 1 cup milk (any variety)
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream (for topping)
• 1-2 Biscoff cookies (for garnish and dipping)

How To Make Biscoff Cookie Latte

Instructions for making Biscoff Cookie Latte: 

1. Brew the Coffee
   Prepare a shot of espresso or brew ¼ cup of strong coffee using your preferred method. Set it aside while you prepare the other components.
2. Heat the Milk
   In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it’s steaming but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, you can heat and froth the milk simultaneously for a creamier texture.
3. Mix in the Biscoff Spread
   Add the Biscoff cookie spread and brown sugar to the hot milk. Stir continuously until the spread and sugar dissolve completely. If needed, use a whisk or a handheld frother to ensure a smooth mixture.
4. Combine Coffee and Milk
   Pour the espresso or brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Slowly add the hot Biscoff-infused milk, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
5. Add Vanilla Extract
   Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of warmth and depth.
6. Top with Whipped Cream
   Generously dollop whipped cream on top of your latte to make it extra indulgent.
7. Garnish and Serve
   Crumble a Biscoff cookie over the whipped cream for a crunchy topping, and serve with a whole cookie on the side for dipping.
