For the first method:
115g butter, softened
250g icing sugar
2 tsp boiling water or milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
When the sugar didn't dissolve, I added more milk, thinking it will
help. I didn't record how much was added.
For the second method (using blending first):
Mocha buttercream : 4 tbsp instant coffee powder
4 1/2 tsp water
8 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
(used 113g)
1 1/4 cups icing sugar (used 150g to
make it less sweet)
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp heavy cream, chilled
(used 210ml)
Thanks.
