Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1.5 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon Hot water
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot water in a small bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the dissolved coffee mixture, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for 3-5 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and silky smooth. Adjust consistency by adding 1 teaspoon of heavy cream at a time if the frosting is too thick.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness or coffee intensity as needed by adding a small pinch of salt or more dissolved coffee mixture.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost your cake or cupcakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
