Unsalted Butter - Use room temperature butter for easy mixing. I prefer to use unsalted butter to control the salt levels but this can be personal preference.

Powdered Sugar - Also known as confectioners sugar. No substitutes here, this very fine sugar makes for a smooth, non-gritty frosting. If your powdered sugar is super lumpy I recommend sifting before using to ensure smooth frosting.

Vanilla Extract - A small amount of vanilla extract adds tremendous flavor to the frosting. I recommend using pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.

Biscoff Spread - is a sweet creamy spread make with Biscoff cookies, which are a spiced cookies. Biscoff Spread can usually be found by the peanut butter in grocery stories/Target/Walmart or Trader Joe's has there own version called Cookie Butter. Use the creamy version.

Expert Tips

Simply Sift! Best practice is to sift your powdered sugar to ensure a lump-free frosting.

Room temperature butter is a must! Cold butter for frosting can result in a chunky frosting or the frosting will not come together. Forgot to soften your butter? Check on this video on how to quickly soften butter. As for the heavy whipping cream, it can be room temperature, however, I have used cold heavy whipping cream in my frosting as well without problem.
