½ tsp espresso powder
½ cup dark cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
5 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
1
In a mixer whip the butter until it is fluffy.
2
Add in the espresso powder, dark cocoa powder, and vanilla and mix until combined.
3
Add in powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. Alternating between the two. I like to add in 1 cup of powder sugar followed by 2 tbs of heavy whipping cream, let it combine and then add the next round of powdered sugar and cream.

Once everything is added, mix on high for 20-30 seconds.
