Directions
- 1
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and instant coffee. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free before turning on the heat.

Add the margarine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- 3
Remove from heat as soon as the frosting reaches a thick, pourable consistency. Immediately pour over your warm cake so it spreads evenly and sets with a beautiful, glossy shine.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra-glossy finish, stir in a tablespoon of butter right at the end, off the heat. Never stop stirring while cooking to prevent scorching on the bottom.
