MIRACLE CHOCOLATE-COFFEE ICING



Miracle Chocolate-Coffee Icing image

This two-ingredient icing goes together in almost no time, and dresses up plain brownies or a sheet cake. Use less yogurt if you want it to be thicker. This is ready to spread on a cool flat cake or brownies or can be used on a Bundt® cake, where it will run down a bit. It will harden in the refrigerator, so it's best to serve immediately or let your dessert reach room temperature before serving, but store any leftover in the refrigerator.

CINNAMON PINWHEELS WITH MAPLE-COFFEE ICING



CINNAMON PINWHEELS WITH MAPLE-COFFEE ICING image

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

Pinwheels
2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Maple-Coffee Icing
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
A pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
1 tablespoon strongly brewed coffee

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a muffin sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with paper liners and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Mix Bisquick and milk together with a wooden spoon until dough comes together, then turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes. Roll dough into a large rectangle, 1/4-inch thick, and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle about 3/4 cup of the brown sugar mixture over the dough; sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture in the bottom of each muffin cup well. Roll dough, jelly roll fashion, tucking in the ends so that the brown sugar stays inside; slice into 12 biscuits. Place cut-side down in muffin cups on top of the brown sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Turn out of the pan onto waxed paper immediately. For the icing, mix together all the ingredients with a whisk until icing comes together. It should be thick, but too thick to pour. Depending on the consistency you want, you may want to add a tablespoon more or less of powdered sugar. Drizzle over the cinnamon rolls and serve warm.

Tips for Perfect Coffee Icing:

  • Use fresh coffee: Freshly brewed coffee has a richer flavor than instant coffee, resulting in a more delicious icing.
  • Chill your ingredients: Cold ingredients help the icing set faster and create a smoother texture.
  • Add coffee gradually: Start with a small amount of coffee and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Don't overbeat the icing: Overbeating can cause the icing to become too thick and difficult to spread.
  • Use the icing immediately: Coffee icing is best when used right away. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Coffee icing is a delicious and versatile icing that can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own coffee icing at home. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give coffee icing a try!
