About the Frosting:
My favorite thing about whipped coffee is that it isn’t a heavy feeling. Whipped coffee is light and airy, and that is why I wanted to make it into a frosting. I also didn’t want to use butter or vegan butter, but I still wanted that thick frosting texture to satisfy my soul. Although, the frosting itself is not paleo because it uses confectioners sugar, no doubt, THIS recipe for the frosting is my favorite frosting ever.
