What you will need

This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter spread
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Heat the Milk

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium low heat stirring occasionally until steaming but not boiling about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 2: Whisk in Cookie Butter

Add the cookie butter spread to the hot milk and whisk vigorously until it is completely melted and the drink is smooth and creamy with no lumps about 2 minutes.

Step 3: Finish and Serve

Stir in the vanilla extract and pour into mugs. Dust with ground cinnamon and top with whipped cream and a drizzle of extra cookie butter for a beautiful finish.

Easy substitutions

Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:

  • Biscoff cookie butter spread → any speculoos spread or homemade spiced cookie butter
  • whole milk → oat milk for a plant based version that still produces a creamy result

Common mistakes to avoid

Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:

  • Not whisking the cookie butter thoroughly enough which leaves unmelted clumps in the finished drink
  • Heating the milk too quickly over high heat which can cause the cookie butter to separate rather than blend smoothly
