Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
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.
Add the dissolved coffee, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until combined.
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.
Continue to beat the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness or coffee flavor if necessary by adding more powdered sugar or dissolved coffee granules.
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.
