Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream or milk
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the heavy cream or milk. Stir well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a mess. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the dissolved coffee mixture and the vanilla extract to the frosting. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated, smooth, and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
Taste the frosting. If a stronger coffee flavor is desired, dissolve an additional 1/2 teaspoon of coffee granules in 1 teaspoon of cream or milk and beat it in.
Once the frosting reaches your desired consistency, it's ready to use! Spread or pipe it onto your favorite baked goods.
