Espresso French Buttercream – The Silkiest Coffee Buttercream You’ll Ever Have
If you love coffee and are looking for a delicious, silky-smooth buttercream, you’re going to fall in love with this Espresso French Buttercream. It has a lovely melt-in-your-mouth texture, is packed with rich coffee flavor, and best of all, it doesn’t taste like butter. It’s light, not heavy, and has the most incredibly smooth, glossy consistency—truly the perfect coffee-infused buttercream.
Like all French buttercreams, this one is made using the classic French method, where eggs are whipped with hot sugar syrup to create a light, custard-like base. The butter is then slowly added, resulting in a creamy, velvety texture with zero grittiness—just pure, silky smoothness.
This version is infused with coffee, a touch of sea salt, and a hint of vanilla, which enhances the deep, bold coffee notes even more. The result? A buttercream that is luxurious, balanced, and absolutely delicious.
Once the espresso extract is mixed in, the buttercream becomes incredibly smooth, beautifully glossy, and most of all, absolutely delicious.
It’s incredibly easy to work with and perfect for filling and frosting cakes, piping onto cupcakes, spreading on cookies, or even using in macarons. If you’re a coffee lover, this buttercream is a must-try!
