Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 tablespoons brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt

How To Make

1. Prepare Your Butter: Start by putting the softened butter in a large bowl. Beat it with a mixer on medium speed until it’s creamy.
2. Add the Coffee and Vanilla: Slowly mix in the brewed coffee and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is well combined.
3. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Beat well after each addition. You want the frosting to be smooth and fluffy. If it gets too thick, add a little more coffee or a splash of milk.
4. Season with Salt: Add a pinch of salt. This helps balance the sweetness. Mix it in until well combined.
5. Check the Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more coffee. If it’s too runny, add more powdered sugar.
6. Frost Your Treats: Once you’ve got the right consistency, use the frosting to top your cakes or cupcakes.
