Notes
- Milk can be used to adjust the consistency of this Biscoff buttercream frosting. If you want or need a thicker frosting, add the milk cautiously and possibly don't put the full 2 tablespoons in. If you need a thinner or runnier frosting (for example if you're needing to pipe with a fine nozzle), you may need additional milk.
- Add any extra milk about a teaspoon at a time and beat after each addition to avoid needing to readjust (thicken) with extra powdered sugar.
- Beating on a low speed will help to combine your frosting, giving a light and creamy consistency, without adding too many unnecessary air bubbles.
- You can make this recipe using a handheld electric beater as well, but if doing so, the frosting is likely to include more air, which will make it harder to smooth cleanly with spreading on a cake.
