What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid using cold butter, as it will make it difficult to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Avoid overmixing the frosting, as this can cause it to become too runny or lose its fluffy texture.
- Be cautious when adding the powdered sugar, as adding too much can make the frosting too sweet.
- Make sure to dissolve the instant coffee granules completely in the heavy cream to avoid any gritty texture in the frosting.
- Avoid adding too much liquid (cream) at once, as it can make the frosting too loose. Add gradually until desired consistency is reached.
