    Posted by: sugarbug

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
    1 tablespoon cocoa powder
    1/2 cup milk
    1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    5 cups confectioners' sugar (about 1 1/4 pounds)

    Recipe



    In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine coffee granules, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla; add to butter mixture and beat well. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. Continue beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes.

    Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until you are ready to decorate. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not using. Rewhip before using.

    Makes about 3 1/2 cups
