I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! I decided to make something special for my hubby and these fit the bill! I had to work today and wanted to have something easy to pull together, and using my new favorite cake mix - Trader Joe's these came together really quickly.
Once the cupcakes were cooled I used a melon baller to scoop out a section on the middle of the cupcake. I used the marshmallow filling in a pastry bag to fill the middle of the cupcake and then replaced the cupcake top. I topped with the chocolate ganache and then piped a design on the top. While it was a little more involved then a simple cupcake but well worth the effort! DELISH!
Marshmallow Filling
Recipe from Annie's Eats
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup marshmallow fluff
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
Beat together until well combined. I used this to fill the cupcakes as well as the classic hostess swirl on top.
Chocolate Ganache
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup chocolate chips
Heat cream until warm but not boiling. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and all chocolate is melted.
ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteThank you! These were really fun to make!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I never heard about scooping out cupcakes and filling them with something till a week or two ago. I saw lemon cupcakes with cranberry filling on someone's blog and gave them a try. They were delicious. I'll bet yours were even better. Chocolate and marshmallow -- yum!!!
