Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Dissolve the instant coffee in two tablespoons of boiling water. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, beat the egg whites and confectioners' sugar just until the mixture is slightly warmed, creamy and smooth. The temperature should not exceed 90 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.

  3. Step 3

    Continue beating until the mixture has cooled and is thick and white.

  4. Step 4

    Add the butter, a little at a time, and continue beating. The mixture will look as if it is about to separate. Continue beating until the butter is well incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Fold the coffee into the butter cream. Beat thoroughly. Cover and chill.
