Beautiful, sweet, and fluffy coffee meringue frosting. The brown sugar gives it a lovely caramel color. It nicely complemented the dark, rich chocolate cake I made. Use the same day and refrigerate leftovers (if there are any). - 09 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Even though I didn't have a double boiler, I was able to make one with a pan and a bowl. The frosting was light and fluffy. I used a German Chocolate coffee. Not bad. - 08 Aug 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I love the flavor! I use this frosting on chocolate cupcakes. I wish it held its shape a bit better, but the fluffy texture is so fun. - 07 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
