Preparing the Biscoff Elements

Before we dive into making the iced coffee, let’s get our Biscoff components ready. This will make the whole process smoother and ensure that the Biscoff flavor is nicely incorporated throughout the drink.

Melting the Biscoff Spread

The key to easily incorporating Biscoff spread into your iced coffee and whipped cream is to melt it first. You can do this in a couple of ways:

1. Microwave Method: Place the Biscoff spread in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it, as it can burn.
2. Double Boiler Method: Place a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Add the Biscoff spread to the bowl and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.

Once melted, set aside the required amounts for the iced coffee, whipped cream (if making), and rim (if making). Let the Biscoff spread for the whipped cream cool slightly before adding it to the cream.

Crushing the Biscoff Cookies (for the rim)

If you’re opting for the Biscoff rim, you’ll need to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Here’s how:

1. Food Processor Method: Place the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed.
2. Bag and Rolling Pin Method: Place the Biscoff cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into fine crumbs.

Pour the crushed cookies onto a small plate for easy rimming.

Making the Biscoff Iced Coffee

Now for the main event! This is where we bring all the Biscoff goodness together with the coffee to create a delicious and refreshing iced drink.

1. Combine Ingredients: In a shaker or a large glass, combine the cooled coffee, milk, melted Biscoff spread, simple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Shake or Stir: If using a shaker, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. If using a glass, stir well until everything is fully incorporated.
3. Prepare Your Glass: If you’re doing the Biscoff rim, now’s the time! Gently rub the rim of your glass with the melted Biscoff spread. Then, dip the rim into the plate of crushed Biscoff cookies, ensuring the rim is evenly coated.
4. Add Ice: Fill your prepared glass with ice cubes.
5. Pour and Enjoy: Pour the Biscoff coffee mixture over the ice.
6. Garnish (Optional): Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of Biscoff cookie crumbs, if desired.

Making the Biscoff Whipped Cream (Optional)

This whipped cream adds an extra layer of Biscoff flavor and a touch of indulgence to your iced coffee. It’s super easy to make and totally worth the effort!

1. Chill Your Equipment: For the best results, chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment (or beaters) in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before starting. This helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape better.
2. Combine Ingredients: In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, cooled melted Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
3. Whip the Cream: Using a whisk attachment (or beaters), start whipping the cream on medium speed. Gradually increase the speed to high.
4. Watch Carefully: Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This means that when you lift the whisk, the peaks of the whipped cream stand up straight and hold their shape. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn the cream into butter.
5. Use Immediately: Use the Biscoff whipped cream immediately to top your iced coffee. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few hours, but it may lose some of its volume over time.

Tips and Variations

Here are a few tips and ideas to customize your Biscoff Iced Coffee to your liking:

• Adjust Sweetness: The amount of simple syrup can be adjusted to your preference. If you like your iced coffee sweeter, add more simple syrup. If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.
• Coffee Strength: The strength of the coffee will affect the overall flavor of the drink. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use a darker roast or add a shot of espresso.
• Milk Options: Feel free to use any type of milk you prefer. Dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk all work well in this recipe.
• Biscoff Spread Consistency: If your Biscoff spread is very thick, you may need to add a little bit of hot water or milk to thin it out before melting it. This will make it easier to incorporate into the iced coffee and whipped cream.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the iced coffee for a warm and cozy flavor.
• Make it a Frappe: For a thicker, more indulgent treat, blend all the ingredients (including the ice) in a blender until smooth.
• Biscoff Drizzle: Drizzle some melted Biscoff spread over the whipped cream for an extra touch of Biscoff goodness.
• Vegan Option: Use non-dairy milk and vegan whipped cream to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
• Make it Ahead: You can brew the coffee and melt the Biscoff spread ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the iced coffee.

Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Biscoff Iced Coffee! It’s the perfect treat for a hot day or any time you’re craving a little bit of Biscoff magic.
