  • Let the coffee cool completely before using it in the frosting. Otherwise, the frosting will be too thin.
  • Use a high-quality butter or cream cheese. This will make the frosting rich and creamy.
  • Beat the butter or cream cheese until it is light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the coffee to the frosting, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the frosting from curdling.
  • Add sugar or other sweetener to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Use the frosting immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
