📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cream butter in a large mixing bowl until it's light and smooth.

2
Add cocoa powder, espresso powder, vanilla extract, 2 tbsp milk and mix until combined.
Espresso Powder (You can increase the quantity to 2 tbsp for an even stronger coffee flavor. )1.5 tbspVanilla extract2 tsp
3
Add half the powdered sugar and mix until partially combined.
4
Add remaining powdered sugar and additional milk, as needed. I only add 5 cups powdered sugar. For those of you who like a sweeter frosting, you can add 6 cups but then you may have to add a little more milk to get the desired "pipeable" consistency.
5
Mix until smooth and creamy.
6
Fill your piping bags with this icing and decorate your desserts. Enjoy.
