  1. yummy icing, but its not fluffy...
     
  2. LOVE THIS...tried another frosting last night, and it wasn't even close to being as good as this!! I'm pretty sure this is going in the family cookbook!!!
     
  3. Great flavor and texture but streaky.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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!

I live in Chandler, Arizona, which is near Phoenix. I have been a registered nurse for almost 25 years. Currently I am a clinical supervisor at a health care clinic. I love to cook rich foods with complex flavors, whether they be main dishes or desserts. I have also been eating low carb for about 5 years, so I am pretty good at modifying recipes to match my lifestyle.
