Biscoff Buttercream

Biscoff Buttercream – Delicious, smooth buttercream packed with all the flavour of Lotus Biscoff biscuits. Perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes, biscuits or macarons.

Skip to the recipe | Recipe FAQs

It turns out that you lot love a bit of Biscoff (as do I), so I thought I’d share an easy way for you to add some delicious Biscoff flavour to your bakes – Biscoff Buttercream.

It’s the buttercream I use on both my Biscoff cupcakes and my Biscoff cake. However, there’s absolutely no need to match Biscoff with Biscoff as I did in those recipes. This buttercream tastes fabulous with a whole host of cake flavours such as coffee, vanilla or caramel so why not match it up to your favourite?

BISCOFF BUTTERCREAM FAQS

If it’s your first time making this recipe or you have a question, please take a moment to have a read through my FAQs for some extra tips and allergen information.

  • I prefer my buttercream more/less sweet. Can I adjust the amount of sugar?
  • How long does this buttercream last for and how should it be stored?
  • What is this recipe free from? Who is it suitable for?

I prefer my buttercream more/less sweet. Can I adjust the amount of sugar?

Absolutely. I’ve added the amount of sugar to my own tastes in this recipe. However you’re fine to add somewhere between 80g and 160g to your own tastes (the recipe calls for 120g). If you tend to prefer your buttercream a little less sweet then I’d recommend adding 80g, have a taste and then slowly add more.

How long does this buttercream last for and how should it be stored?

This buttercream is usually fine for about a week after it is made. If you’re making it in advance of using it then I’d recommend storing it in the fridge. However, once it’s on your cake (or whatever you’ve chosen to use it for), it’ll be fine at room temperature as long as your room isn’t too warm.

❄️ Suitable for freezing

Your Biscoff buttercream can be frozen either in a freezer bag or freezer-safe airtight container. Allow it to defrost fully and come up to room temperature before using it. After freezing (and defrosting), you may find that your buttercream is a little too stiff to pipe/spread easily. If this is the case then beating it in a mixer on a low speed (or by hand) should help to soften it. If it’s still a little stiff then you can beat in a little extra milk (no more than one teaspoon at a time) to get it to the right consistency.

    hey there! i have tried your recipe just now for vanilla chocolate chip cupcakes & it’s amazinggggg omg. there’s no taste of butter & the icing sugar but it’s just rich with the taste of biscoff. at first i tripled the recipe but it wasn’t enough for the amount of cupcakes i have so I made another tripled recipe. I didn’t pour milk as it’s kinda humid rn in Malaysia so to keep it stiff i didn’t add milk. thank you so much for your easy recipe

      I’m not too sure, I’d guess about 50, but that’s a very, very rough guess.
