Mocha Buttercream:
- Whip 200 g butter until soft and creamy.
- Add 150 g icing sugar a little at a time, and keep whisking until well combined.
- Add the cooled 2 tbsp coffee, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp cocoa powder, and whisk until the cream is smooth and airy.
Assembly:
- Once the meringue bases are completely cooled, spread a generous layer of mocha buttercream onto one meringue base.
- Place another meringue base on top, and continue until all the bases are used.
- Decorate the top with a thin layer of mocha buttercream and, if you like, extra decoration such as chopped chocolate or cocoa powder.
Notes
The meringue bases must be completely cold before being assembled with the buttercream, to prevent the buttercream from melting.
