This is a very creamy icing. I added 2 teaspoons of espresso powder and my kids thought that the icing tasted just like a coffee crisp bar. Very nice.

I actually used strong brewed coffee for 1/2 of the boiling water & added a tsp of espresso powder, which really did enhance the chocolate taste. This is a simple but very tasty frosting recipe. Mine turned out more creamy than fluffy, but was super easy to spread & got rave reviews from my husband & daughter. I'm sure this will be a go-to recipe for impromptu treats!

tastes like chocolate milk/pudding. not what i was expecting in flavor, but very fluffy and not overly sweet.

Can't believe no one has tried or reviewed this frosting till now. It's pretty simple and came out so light and fluffy - fantastic! I beat it for about 5-7 minutes. Although it was super fluffy (perfect for the cupcakes I made) it was a bit gritty feeling. I will make again but beat it longer next time. I think I'll also try adding a bit of espresso powder to the cocoa to enhance the wonderful chocolate taste. Thanks for the recipe.
