Directions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and then add the yeast mixture, butter, and egg. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread a thin layer of Biscoff spread over the dough, then add an even layer of custard.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 1-inch thick rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Variations
- Vegan Option: Replace the butter with plant-based butter and use a non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk. Replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water).
- Chocolate Lovers: For a more decadent twist, swap the white chocolate drizzle for a dark or milk chocolate drizzle.
- Fruit Fillings: Add a few fresh raspberries or blueberries along with the custard for added fruitiness.
- Spiced Version: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or ginger to the dough for a spiced flavor profile that pairs wonderfully with the Biscoff spread.
Storage/Reheating

- Reheating: To reheat, simply microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5-10 minutes until heated through.
FAQs
How long do these rolls last?
These rolls are best eaten fresh, but they can last up to 3 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and fill the rolls the night before, cover them, and refrigerate them overnight. The next morning, allow them to come to room temperature and rise before baking.
Can I use homemade custard?
Absolutely! Homemade custard will add an extra level of richness and flavor to these rolls. Just be sure it’s fully cooled before spreading it on the dough.
What can I use instead of Biscoff spread?
If you don’t have Biscoff spread, you can substitute with other cookie butters like Speculoos, or even use Nutella for a different flavor profile.
Can I freeze these rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls after slicing them. Freeze them on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a zip-top bag. When ready to bake, let them thaw and rise before baking as usual.
How do I make sure the yeast activates properly?
Ensure the milk is warm, not too hot or cold. The ideal temperature is around 100°F (37°C). If it’s too hot, it will kill the yeast; if it’s too cold, the yeast won’t activate.
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast. If using instant yeast, you don’t need to proof it in warm milk. Simply mix it directly into the dry ingredients.
How can I make the rolls fluffier?
To get the fluffiest rolls, ensure that you knead the dough well and give it enough time to rise. Also, using high-quality flour can improve the texture.
Can I skip the white chocolate drizzle?
Yes, you can skip the drizzle if you prefer a lighter finish. The rolls are delicious on their own, but the white chocolate drizzle adds a nice touch of sweetness.
Can I use a different filling instead of custard?
Certainly! You could fill the rolls with a layer of fruit jam, chocolate ganache, or even cream cheese for a different take.

These Sweet Biscoff Custard Rolls offer the perfect blend of soft, fluffy dough, sweet custard, and irresistible Biscoff flavor.
