Coffee Mocha Icing

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Makes a great topper for brownies, or double the recipe for a larger cake. If you like a really strong coffee flavor add in 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules to the already brewed hot coffee, then stir until dissolved, or just use boiled water with instant coffee granules, make certain the coffee is cooled before using for this recipe. This icing freezes well."

I used this Icing for a Capuccino Cheesecake, it was perfect! I added a little whipping cream, it made the icing and cinnamon, delicious! Thank you, kittencal!
