Steps
- Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until creamed.
- Step 2
Next, add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract, heavy cream and espresso powder. Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds. Then, increase to high speed and beat the frosting for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Add additional powder sugar if the frosting is too thin and more heavy cream if it’s too thick (add by the tablespoon).

Set aside until ready to use.
