Delicious vanilla cupcakes filled with creamy custard and topped with rich chocolate ganache.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup vanilla custard or pudding
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
  4. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, use a small spoon or piping tip to remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake. Fill with custard.
  7. For the ganache, heat heavy cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  8. Dip the top of each cupcake into the ganache and let set before serving.
