Categories: Icing

Ingredients

  • Mocha Icing [I didn't make this as I don't think icing cookies is worth it and I don't like coffee]
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2-6 tsp very strongly brewed coffee
  • 3-3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Melt chocolate chips with 4 tsp of coffee in microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and then if still lumpy, do 20 more seconds. Repeat until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Stir in butter until smooth.

  2. Whisk in sugar and stir until mixture is of spreading consistency. If too thick, add more coffee, if too thin, add more sugar.

  3. Frost, sprinkle with coconut before fully set if you desire.
