Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Add the dissolved coffee, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until combined.
Step 5
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and slowly add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker frosting, use less cream; for a lighter, fluffier texture, add more cream as needed.
Step 6
Continue to beat the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Step 7
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness or coffee flavor if necessary by adding more powdered sugar or dissolved coffee granules.
Step 8
Use immediately to frost a cake or cupcakes, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before use if chilled.
