Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Hot water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee granules and hot water. Stir until the coffee granules are fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add the cooled coffee mixture and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Increase the speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overmix as it can turn grainy.
Taste the frosting and adjust for sweetness or mocha flavor, if desired.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
