Coffee ain’t just for drinking friends. Nope, it’s also for doing all kinds of other stuff with, like turning it into a beautiful blissed out buttercream. If you like COFFEE as much as I do you’re going to love this hopped up espresso buttercream.

It’s going to give your dessert a little kick in the caffeinated pants. I mean that’s if you can manage to not eat all of it before it’s time to slather it onto a cake, or cupcakes, or between two cookies. Whatever you’ve got handy, a spoon. We won’t judge.

This is an amazing buttercream that I have to tell you my sistah from another mistah shared with me. Please don’t even ask me for a calorie count because I don’t want to know. I’m claiming denial with a capital D on this one. I really don’t ever want to know. It would  forever ruin this deliciousness for me.

I mean come on the name has butter and cream in it, it’s not going to win any healthy food of the month awards. I’m okay with that. It’s also why I don’t make it all that often. Everything in moderation yeah?

It’s creamy, buttery (duh) and most definitely caffeinated. You can taste the LAVAZZA espresso from the get go. It’s kind of the point.
