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!
