Halloween Cupcakes
Recipe by Slide For Food (@slideforfood)
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 125g softened butter
- 150g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 150g cooking dark chocolate, melted
- 200g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 190ml AYAM™ Coconut Milk (save 10ml for later)
Toppings
- 150g cooking dark chocolate (for cobwebs)
- 250g marscapone
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 10ml remaining AYAM™ Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp dessicated coconut (optional)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Prepare cobweb chocolate toppings by melting dark chocolate in the microwave for short bursts of 10 seconds, mixing in between, until fully melted.
- Leave to cool for 30 seconds, and pour into a pastry bag with a small nozzle (~3mm tip). On a tray lined with baking paper, form small cobweb shapes. Place in fridge to set for about 1 hour.
- To make the cupcakes, whisk the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add in the eggs. Whisk well. Melt your dark chocolate, and let cool before adding to avoid the eggs scrambling.
- Add baking powder and flour in several batches, ensuring to whisk everything with each batch.
- Finally, pour in the coconut milk and mix everything. Pour cupcakes into lined moulds and bake for 15 mins, or until you get a clean toothpick when poking to test.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing by whisking the marscapone for 2-3 mins, slowly adding icing sugar and the rest of the coconut milk. (Optional) Add in dessicated coconut and mix.
- Let cool in the fidge while waiting for cupcakes.
- Once the cupcakes are done, let them cool completely before adding icing and chocolate cobwebs on top.
