- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and espresso powder (or brewed espresso/latte).
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is just simmering.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the powdered sugar until combined and the icing reaches your desired consistency. Add more powdered sugar if needed for a thicker icing.
- Let the icing cool slightly before pouring over your cooled cake. Enjoy!
- Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings or espresso powder for an extra touch of elegance.
