Espresso buttercream made with Modern Mountain Espresso Powder
Fluffy buttercream with real, rich coffee flavor - and it's quick. Made with Modern Mountain Espresso Powder, this espresso buttercream is a no-brainer for coffee lovers, and it takes chocolate bakes to full mocha depth. We love it on our Mocha Brownie Pizza, but it's fair game for any chocolate cake, cookie, or brownie.
