Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 c confectioner's (powdered) sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
3 Tbsp vegan butter
2 oz cold strong coffee, more as needed (or use vanilla rice milk if you don't like coffee
1 tsp bourbon vanilla

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.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your frosting. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
Chill the frosting before using. This will help it to set and become more stable. You can chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Use the frosting within 24 hours. Mocha frosting is best when it is fresh. If you need to store it for longer, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To thaw the frosting, place it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.
Use the frosting to top cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. It can also be used as a filling for pastries or tarts.

Conclusion:

Dairy-free mocha frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to top a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich chocolate flavor and hint of coffee, this frosting is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
