Save money on your morning sip, skip the line at Starbucks, and make an Iced Cookie Butter Latte at home. Take a break from the coffee shop and become your own barista with this Biscoff coffee treat!
Viral Biscoff Latte
Our Iced Cookie Butter Latte recipe will make your morning cold brew even better! Filled with the caramelized flavor and warm spices from sweet Biscoff cookie butter spread, this Starbucks copycat tastes more like an indulgent dessert drink than a caffeinated breakfast brew.
Since modifying the viral recipe that’s been trending across various social media sites, I’ve given new meaning to my morning iced coffee. I’m officially skipping the Starbucks secret menu item and making my own Biscoff iced latte instead!
I swapped out the brown sugar syrup and prepared my cookie butter cold brew with espresso powder instead of chai pumps. I also topped it with whipped cream and added cookie crumbs for crunch.
What Is Cookie Butter
Cookie butter is a creamy caramel Biscoff cookie spread, made primarily from Speculoos, cookie crumbs (a spiced cookie), fat, flour, and sugar, all blended until smooth and spreadable. Cookie butter is used in many different countries instead of nut butter for its sweeter flavors.
The Lotus brand is best known for its biscuits, which are used to make the cookie butter spread. The texture resembles Nutella or peanut butter, but it has a unique caramel flavor profile with hints of cinnamon and other spices. It’s vegan and manufactured with all-natural ingredients.
Ingredients Notes
- Hot water
- Instant espresso powder: I used pre-brewed espresso powder for convenience because it readily dissolves in hot water. Feel free to brew your fresh espresso shot using a French press, an AeroPress, or a moka pot.
- Cookie butter: You can substitute the Biscoff caramel sauce with any nut butter you prefer. Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or your favorite flavors will all work well. Trader Joe’s has an amazing cookie butter as well.
- Milk: Feel free to ditch the dairy and use plant-based milk to make your Biscoff latte. Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or any non-dairy alternative will taste just as delicious.
- Whipped cream: I love topping my iced Biscoff latte with whipped cream, but you can omit it if you prefer.
- Biscoff cookie: You can create the crunch using any crushed cookie. While Lotus Biscoff cookies are classic, try Nilla wafers, graham crackers, or even Golden Oreos for a different flavor.

How to Make a Cookie Butter Latte

How to Make A Classic Espresso Shot Iced Cookie Butter Latte
For a stronger, more concentrated cookie butter iced coffee, stir together a double shot of espresso with the melted cookie butter. Then follow the same instructions above.
Serving Suggestions
Baking with Biscoff is a great way for vegans to enjoy this creamy, nut-free, gluten-free spread. I love serving both cold and hot Lotus Biscoff lattes with my Biscoff cupcakes and Biscoff blondies. It also pairs perfectly with your favorite cookies, pastries, spiced or rich-flavored cakes, and pies!
Whether you prepare this cookie butter drink as a morning pick-me-up, an afternoon treat, or an after-dinner indulgence, a cookie butter cookie latte always hits the spot!
Tips & Variations
- Swap The Spread: While this cookie butter cold brew recipe calls for the name brand, Lotus Biscoff spread, you can use any brand of cookie butter. Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and President’s Choice all sell their own brands. Cookie butter is often called Speculoos spread on some labels too.
- Serve It Sweeter: You can use a variety of flavoring syrups made for coffee. It comes down to your preferences. I like to use Torani Vanilla and Nescafé Gold espresso powder when making mine for the right balance.
- Heat To Make Hot: If you don’t like your latte iced and prefer it to be served hot, omit the ice. You can gently heat the milk in a saucepan on the stove or in a microwave-safe cup before adding it to the espresso.
Proper Storage
Leftover Iced Cookie Butter Latte should be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed jar or cup for up to a week without the ice.
