Preparation
- Dissolve the instant coffee in two tablespoons of boiling water. Set aside.
- 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.
- Continue beating until the mixture has cooled and is thick and white.
- 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.
- Fold the coffee into the butter cream. Beat thoroughly. Cover and chill.
