Ingredients

  • 1 c whipping cream
  • 2 T powdered sugar
  • 2 T butter
  • 4 T mascarpone cheese
  • 6 T cream cheese
  • 1 T Kahlua
  • 2 T good quality instant coffee
  • 1/2 c powdered sugar
  • *grated chocolate optional

Preparation

Step 1

Whip cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine butter and cheeses and mix on high until thoroughly combined. In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee in Kahlua. Add to butter mixture. Add in sugar and mix well. Carefully fold in whipping cream.

Step 3

Pipe frosting on top of cupcakes and top with a dash of grated chocolate. **If frosting starts to "melt" a bit, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Once all cupcakes have been frosted, be sure to place them in the refrigerator immediately so frosting will maintain its shape.
