The Best coffee buttercream frosting recipe
I’m so excited to share this coffee buttercream frosting recipe with you all. As a busy mom, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my family’s favorite treats a little more special. This frosting is a game-changer – it’s rich, creamy, and full of deep, velvety coffee flavor.
My kids can’t get enough of it, and I love that it’s a great way to get them to eat more greens (like spinach and kale) in their desserts. I first discovered this frosting at a local bakery, where they used it to top their famous chocolate cupcakes. It was love at first bite – I knew right then that I had to figure out how to make it at home.
After some trial and error, I finally nailed the recipe down and now it’s a staple in our household. We use it on everything from cakes and cupcakes to cookies and even as a dip for fruit kebabs. It’s just that good!
The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make – just three ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep time are all you need. And the best part?
It’s actually pretty good for you too – the spinach and kale add some much-needed nutrients without altering the flavor one bit.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Coffee Buttercream Frosting
Q: What kind of coffee should I use in this frosting?
For this frosting, you’ll want to use a high-quality Arabica coffee that’s been finely ground. If you have an espresso machine or strong brewer, feel free to use those instead of regular coffee beans – just be sure to adjust the amount accordingly.
Q: Can I make this frosting ahead of time?
Yes! In fact, making this frosting ahead of time is one of its biggest advantages – you can whip it up whenever you need it and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Q: Is this frosting suitable for vegans?
Unfortunately, no – this frosting contains dairy products (butter) which makes it non-vegan. However, if you substitute those out with vegan butter or another dairy-free alternative, you should be good to go!
Q: Can I use this frosting as a filling in cakes or pastries?
Absolutely! In fact, using this frosting as a filling will take your baked goods from basic to show-stopping in no time.
