Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cocoa powder
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional for thinner consistency)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Step 2
Sift the cocoa powder into the butter and beat until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated before adding more.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the cooled brewed coffee, a few tablespoons at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and salt, and beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until the icing is creamy and smooth.
Step 6
If the consistency is too thick, mix in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Spread the icing onto your dessert of choice using a spatula or piping bag. Any leftover icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
