FUDGY MOCHA FROSTING W/PECANS--OR HAZELNUT COFFEE FROSTING!

Fudgy Mocha Frosting W/Pecans--Or Hazelnut Coffee Frosting! image

A quick basic cocoa frosting that isn't overly sweet -- I like it with toasted pecans! Make it mocha by adding instant coffee granules -- or leave out the pecans, and add the coffee granules, hazelnut extract and 1/2 cup hazelnut spread to make a hazelnut coffee frosting! (SEE NOTE) This frosting can be used on Recipe #285364 :) and is a great addition to Recipe #266977 :)

Tips:

To make the perfect hazelnut mocha coffee, start with freshly brewed coffee. Using a dark roast or espresso will give you a more intense flavor.
Use high-quality hazelnut syrup. Look for a syrup that is made with real hazelnuts and doesn't contain any artificial flavors or colors.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of milk. Whole milk will give you a richer flavor, while skim milk will make your coffee lighter.
If you don't have a milk frother, you can heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it is just simmering. Then, whisk the milk vigorously until it is frothy.
Top your hazelnut mocha coffee with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

Hazelnut mocha coffee is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you are looking for a special coffee drink, give hazelnut mocha coffee a try. You won't be disappointed!
