How to make Chocolate Frosting
- Assemble your ingredients.
- Combine the cocoa, sugar and butter using a stand or hand mixer.
- On medium low speed, slowly add the hot coffee and continue to blend. It will melt the butter while blending.
- Turn the speed up to medium high and whip till light and fluffy. About 5 minutes will suffice.
Why use strong coffee or espresso in Chocolate Frosting?
Coffee brings out the flavor of chocolate. Try adding a bit of powdered espresso it to your next chocolate cake and see how good it is! You will find it to be a bolder, deeper chocolate flavor.
While this recipe calls for coffee, if you really do not care for it you can simply use warm milk or cream, or even boiled water, in place of the coffee.
I hope you find success making this easy chocolate frosting! It really is an easy, no fuss recipe that you will want to use again and again!
