I love coffee and this is the second coffee inspired concoction that I made and tried.

Tip 1: 4 cups of confectioner sugar if you want it thick, 3 cups if you want it thinner

Ingredients:
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening (CRISCO can be bought from your Supermarket, next to the Indian Ghee)
1/2 cup butter softened
1/4 cup cocoa powder or 1 oz square of unsweetened chocolate, melted
3 tablespoon instant coffee/ espresso powder / strong brewed coffee (diluted in water)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (vanilla from the pods)
4 cups confectioner's sugar or icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Makes about 3 cups 


Cream shortening and butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Add the next three ingredients and mix well. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time by beating at medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk; beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

If you want a thinner icing, add one tablespoon of milk at a time to reach the consistency you like.

Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing in refrigerator in an airtight container. Can be stored 2 weeks, just re-whip before using.

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
