Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Semi-Sweet Chocolate 6 ounces
Butterscotch Chips 6 ounces
Strong Brewed Coffee 1/2 cup
Confectioners’ Sugar 3 cups

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolates: In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and butterscotch chips. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, or alternatively, melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.

  2. Incorporate Coffee and Sugar: Once the chocolate mixture is fully melted, remove it from the heat and carefully stir in the strong brewed coffee. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, mixing until it is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

  3. Beat for Texture: Using an electric mixer, beat the frosting on medium speed for a couple of minutes, or until it becomes fluffy and well-blended. Make sure there are no lumps and the frosting has a glossy finish.

  4. Frost Your Favorite Desserts: Allow the frosting to cool slightly before spreading it generously over your favorite cake layers or cupcakes. Enjoy the heavenly blend of chocolate and butterscotch flavors!
