COFFEE MOCHA ICING
Makes a great topper for brownies, or double the recipe for a larger cake. If you like a really strong coffee flavor add in 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules to the already brewed hot coffee, then stir until dissolved, or just use boiled water with instant coffee granules, make certain the coffee is cooled before using for this recipe. This icing freezes well.

Tips:
- For a richer mocha flavor, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder in your icing.
- Add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to your icing for an extra boost of coffee flavor.
- If you don't have any coffee liqueur on hand, you can substitute milk or water.
- To make your icing extra smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before using.
- If you're using your icing to decorate a cake, chill it for at least 30 minutes before spreading it on the cake. This will help the icing to set and hold its shape.
