How to Make Espresso Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (or 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using a wire whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with 2 cups and add more as needed for a thicker frosting.
