Biscoff Speculoos buttercream

November 9, 2012 by Sarah / Maison Cupcake

A speculoos buttercream recipe using Biscoff style speculoos spread.

Ok so maybe you’ve restrained yourself from eating speculoos spread straight out of the jar with a spoon. I defy you however to not sweep a finger around the bowl of this speculoos buttercream after (or before) you use it to decorate my speculoos cupcakes published alongside this post.

Not just for cupcakes, this speculoos buttercream would be ideal for sandwiching together macarons, layering a sponge cake together or even covering the outside of one.

It may be over egging the pudding somewhat to decorate a speculoos cake with real pieces of speculoos biscuit on top of speculoos icing but I make no apologies for it.

Have you tried speculoos spread yet? (They’ve started selling it – called Lotus spread – in Waitrose recently although I’m sure other stores will follow.)

    I’ve not come across this lovely sounding Speculoos spread yet as I imagine it’s only in larger branches but I love Lotus biscuits and remember my mum sitting under the dryer at the hair dressers with a Rombouts coffee and a packet of Lotus biscuits. I must try out your icing!
