Reduced-Fat Chocolate Frosting

This will make 2 cups. Feel free to double/half it as necessary.

Ingredients:
4 tbsp. unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. instant coffee crystals
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup skim milk

Method:
1. Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth. Stir in salt and coffee crystals until dissolved. Transfer to medium bowl and cool 10 minutes.

2. Whisk cocoa and sugar in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, gradually add cocoa mixture to melted chocolate mixture (use low speed). Gradually add milk, beating until milk is completely incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and creamy, about 1 minute.
