Coffee Frosting

1. 1

   Combine the butter and confectioners sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale yellow.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, make a quick coffee milk: whisk together the milk, instant coffee, and salt in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

4. 4

   On low speed, gradually stream in the coffee milk.

5. 5

   You are essentially forcing liquid into fat, so be patient.

6. 6

   The butter mixture will clump up and separate upon contact with the coffee milk.

   Do not stream more coffee milk into the butter mixture until the previous addition is fully incorporated; keep the mixer on and remain patient.

   The result will be a wildly fluffy coffee frosting, pale brown and super-shiny.
