How to Make Mocha Fudge Icing

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 3 cups powdered sugar.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of the cocoa/sugar mixture with 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually blend in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup milk until smooth.
  4. Add the remaining cocoa/sugar mixture and the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Continue beating for 2-3 minutes until the icing is light and fluffy.
  6. Gradually add instant espresso powder, 1 teaspoon at a time, tasting after each addition until you reach your desired coffee flavor (start with 1-2 teaspoons).
  7. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
