Ingredients
- 1 Cup salted butter
- 4 Tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 Tablespoons Sifted cocoa
- 4 Cups powdered sugar
- 3-6 Tablespoons coffee cream (more makes a creamier frosting)
Instructions
- Let the butter sit out of the fridge for about 5-10 minutes, just so it isn't very cold. Beat the butter until it is smooth and soft.
- Crush the coffee granules between two spoons so it is a powder and not lumpy. Add the coffee, cocoa and powdered sugar and beat until it is very light.
- Add in the cream one tablespoon at a time if you want the icing to be a bit more light. Add until your desired consistency is reached.
- Frost cupcakes, cakes or even make a layered cake with this icing.
