Coffee Frosting


	Coffee Frosting "Made with espresso powder OR coffee" This coffee frosting can be made with real coffee or instant espresso powder. This coffee frosting tops well with several recipes I have on my site : Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe Brown Sugar Cookie Recipe Sour Cream Cake Recipe Walnut Cake Recipe And if you are hesitant to buy instant espresso powder because you don't know what else to use it in - I use it in these Italian cookie recipes and Cakes: Cappuccino Cake Cappuccino Cookies Coffee Brownies Coffee Frosting Best Tiramisu Recipe (I mention the tiramisu because it can be modified to use espresso instead of kahlua. Too, it's the most viewed recipe on my site.) If this isn't exactly what you were looking for - check out my homepage, Italian Dessert Recipes and hunt around.

If you live close to a Dean and DeLuca, that's where I get mine. Too, some of the coffee houses "may" carry it. But I know Starbucks doesn't - check any of the others. How would I use instant coffee powder? Use 3 tsp and it would be OK. How is instant espresso different than instant coffee? Well, I'm sure the coffee house pros can explain it in detail, if you wish. But when an espresso bean is roasted - it turns out dark and oily. However, we are just looking for a coffee flavored frosting. We're not trying to be food snobs and I'm sure no one is going to beat you over the head if you use instant coffee or instant espresso. Back to the top of this coffee frosting.
