What does a Biscoff ube latte taste like?

Caramelized speculoos spice from the Biscoff (Lotus) spread, a creamy oat base and the gentle vanilla-biscuit flavor of ube on top. Ube and Biscoff share the same cookie-like notes, which is why they blend so naturally. It is sweet, creamy and not bitter - there is no coffee in the base recipe.

Is the Biscoff ube latte vegan?

Yes, as written. Lotus Biscoff spread contains no milk or eggs, and the recipe uses oat cream and oat milk. Ube Nolia ube powder is 100% purple yam, so the whole drink is plant-based.

Can I make it sugar-free?

Yes. Skip the brown cane sugar - the Biscoff spread already sweetens the cream. For a lower-sugar glass, halve the Biscoff and add 1 teaspoon of sugar-free syrup (monk fruit or erythritol). The ube powder itself contains no added sugar.

Can I use cow's milk instead of oat milk?

Absolutely. Use whole milk and 2 tablespoons of single or whipping cream instead of oat cream. The latte gets rounder and richer, so you can reduce or skip the brown sugar.

Which plant milk works best?

Oat milk is the most balanced with Biscoff. Soy milk gives the thickest texture, almond milk a lighter drink, and coconut milk a more indulgent, dessert-like glass. Barista versions keep the layers cleaner.

Can I make a hot Biscoff ube latte?

Yes. Whisk the Biscoff cream into warm milk (not boiling), skip the ice, then pour the ube mixture on top. Froth the milk first for a café-style foam.

Yes, add a shot of espresso between the milk and the ube layer for a Biscoff ube coffee latte. The base recipe is caffeine-free.

Why dissolve the ube powder in warm water first?

Ube powder mixes smoothly in a little warm water. Poured straight into cold milk it can form small lumps. A smooth ube paste also floats as a clean purple layer on top of the milk.

What is the difference between ube and taro?

Ube is a purple yam with naturally violet flesh and a vanilla-biscuit taste. Taro is a pale, starchy root, and purple taro drinks are usually colored artificially. This latte gets its color only from pure ube powder.

What Is a Biscoff Ube Latte?

A Biscoff ube latte (or Lotus ube latte) is an iced ube latte layered with Lotus Biscoff speculoos spread: a caramel-spiced Biscoff cream at the bottom, cold milk in the middle and a vivid purple layer of ube (Dioscorea alata, the Philippine purple yam) on top.

How to Make a Biscoff Ube Latte, Step by Step

Step 1: Make the Biscoff Cream

Mix the Biscoff spread, oat cream and brown sugar until smooth. Add a splash of oat milk if it is too thick - it should pour like a thick caramel sauce.

Step 2: Swirl the Glass and Add Ice

Swirl some Biscoff spread around the inside of your glass with a spoon, then fill it with ice. The cold glass keeps the swirls sharp.

Step 3: Add the Biscoff Cream, Then the Milk

Pour the Biscoff cream over the ice, then slowly pour in the milk, leaving about 3cm at the top for the ube layer.

Variations: Sugar-Free, Vegan, Cow's Milk and Hot

Swap it your way

Sugar-free Biscoff ube latte: skip the brown sugar. For less sugar overall, halve the Biscoff and add 1 tsp of sugar-free syrup (monk fruit or erythritol).
Vegan: the recipe is already plant-based - Lotus Biscoff spread contains no milk or eggs. Check the label of your oat cream.
With cow's milk: whole milk plus 2 tbsp single or whipping cream instead of oat cream. Richer, so reduce the sugar.
Other plant milks: soy for the creamiest texture, almond for a lighter glass, coconut for a dessert-style latte.
Hot Biscoff ube latte: whisk the Biscoff cream into warm frothed milk, no ice, and pour the ube on top.
With espresso: add one shot between the milk and the ube layer.

Tips for the Perfect Layered Lotus Ube Latte

Our tips

Pour slowly over the back of a spoon for clean purple layers.
Always dissolve the ube in warm water first: it stays smooth and floats better.
Use cold milk and plenty of ice so the Biscoff swirls stay visible.
Warm the Biscoff spread for 10 seconds if it is too firm to swirl.

Why Pure Ube Powder Makes the Difference

Most purple café drinks use syrups and colorings. Pure ube powder brings a natural violet from anthocyanins, a real vanilla-biscuit flavor that pairs with speculoos, fiber, and no added sugar.
