Mocha buttercream
2 Servings
Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
¼ | cup | Instant coffee powder |
2 | teaspoons | Water |
8 | tablespoons | (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature |
¼ | cup | Confectioners sugar |
¾ | cup | Plus 2 Tablespoons heavy (whipping) cream, chilled |
Directions
Flavored lightly with coffee, this variation on Rosie's Buttercream has a lovely cafe au lait color.
1. Dissolve the coffee in the water.
2. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stop the machine several times to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
3. Transfer the buttercream to a medium sized mixing bowl and, using the paddle attachment of an electric mixer, continue to beat on medium-high speed, until the buttercream is white and fluffy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stop the mixer to scrape the bowl several times with a rubber spatula (If you do not have a paddle attachment, you can use the whisk) Use the buttercream for frosting within an hour or it will need rewhipping.
Makes 2 to 2⅒/4 cups, enough to fill and frost a two- or four-layer cake
