Preparation

Step 1

Melt your three chocolate squares in the microwave, slowly and carefully until they are liquidy smooth. Set aside to cool.Whip the butter in your mixer until it's light and fluffy.Add in the cocoa, beating until combined.When the chocolate is cool, add it to the butter. Make sure it's cooled!!Add the instant coffee to one tablespoon of cream, then add to the butter mixture.Now you can put in the icing sugar one cup at a time, beating until combined.Adjust the thickness/texture by using another tablespoon of cream, adding it slowly until the texture you want is achieved.
