Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully combined to avoid creating a cloud of sugar.
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of whole milk, stirring until smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl along with the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
Mix on medium speed until the icing is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of whole milk, a little at a time, until the desired spreadable or drizzling consistency is reached.
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness, and give it a final mix to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Use immediately to frost cakes, drizzle over pastries, or as a filling for cookies. If not using right away, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let it come to room temperature before using, and re-whip if necessary.
