Dairy Free Mocha Frosting Food

DAIRY FREE MOCHA FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. Beat the sugar and cocoa powder to incorporate the vegan butter coffee and vanilla. If you need more liquid, add a small amount at a time. Beat for two minutes or so until smooth. If you need to stiffen the frosting, add a little more confectioner's sugar.
• 2. Chill the frosting before using it. I chill it, covered, for roughly an hour. Frost the cupcakes. Cover in an air-tight container until serving. If making ahead of time, chill frosted cakes briefly in the freezer before wrapping individually and freezing.

THE BEST MOCHA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING / ICING

Steps:

• In your mixer, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until it is creamy.
• Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract & coffee.
• Beat with the mixer until it's nice and fluffy (about a minute or 2)
• This makes a perfectly spreadable frosting. The nice thing about it is that you can put it in the fridge to make it a little more firm if you would like.

MOCHA FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine the water, butter and coffee in a small saucepan and let heat until butter is melted and liquid is quite hot.
• Put the chocolate pieces into the container of a food processor and start blending. Gradually add the butter liquid to the chocolate. Add the sugar and process five minutes, stopping the machine occasionally to scrape down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula.
• Let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened. Dribble it evenly over the cake. Sprinkle with nuts.
