Beat 60 g butter and the sugar with a food mixer at medium speed until creamy.

Use an apple corer to make a hole in the middle of each cupcake, but do not go right to the bottom otherwise the filling will drop out.

Make the filling and the cream. Put the Biscoff biscuits in a bowl and pour over the warm coffee. Stir vigorously until the texture is creamy. You may need to add a little coffee if the mixture is too thick.
