Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 15 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 3/4 cups (222 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons (90 grams) heavy cream, at room temperature
1 cup (135 grams) corn kernels, thawed if frozen
6 tablespoons (90 grams) sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup (50 grams) refined coconut oil, soft but not melted
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
1/4 cup (70 grams) cranberry sauce
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (113 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cups (360 grams) powdered sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
2 tablespoons (30 grams) heavy cream
About 2/3 cup thick cranberry sauce (if it's super runny, drain off some of the juices)
Sliced fresh cranberries, for decorating
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for decorating

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cupcake pans with 15 cupcake liners, spacing them out evenly between the two pans.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl, then lightly stir in the salt and set aside. Combine the heavy cream and 1/2 cup corn in a food processor and puree until smooth, being careful not to overblend so the cream doesn't turn into butter. Add the sour cream and blend just to combine, then set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, coconut oil and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides occasionally with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is incorporated evenly, until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Reduce the mixer to medium-low and add the dry mixture and corn puree mixture in 3 alternating additions, then fold in the remaining 1/2 cup corn kernels with a rubber spatula. Using an ice cream scoop, distribute the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pans and continue to bake until the cupcakes are thinking about starting to turn brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs on it, 6 to 10 minutes more. If the cupcakes need more time, continue to bake and check them frequently (like every 30 to 45 seconds). Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the buttercream: If desired, press the cranberry sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of the cranberry skins, which will yield a smoother buttercream. This step is not necessary, though. Beat together the cranberry sauce, butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, salt and vanilla and continue beating until combined. Beat in the heavy cream. Transfer to a piping bag.
  • To assemble: Use an apple corer to extract the centers of the cupcakes. Transfer the thick cranberry sauce to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off, then pipe it into the centers of the cupcakes. Pipe a blob of frosting onto the cupcakes and decorate with sliced cranberries and rosemary sprigs. Enjoy! These are best enjoyed within a day or two.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH STUFFED CUPCAKES



Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Cupcakes image

This recipe by the author of "Funky Foodgasm A Pornographer of Food" caught my eye and I just had to post it... I haven't made these yet, but by looking at the ingredients and the photo that was included, it looks like delicious cupcake time to me! I will probably add walnuts or pecans in with the cookie dough when I make mine, as we all love nuts around here! PLEASE NOTE: The preparation time is just a guesstimate as I haven't made these yet, and it includes the time to freeze the Cookie Dough Balls.

STUFFED CUPCAKES



Stuffed Cupcakes image

A not so sweet chocolate cupcake with a sweet cream cheese filling. We have made this per the recipe and made numerous tweaks (lemon cupcake- adding a little strawberry preserves to the filling). We have also made this with Hershey's Dark cocoa which made the cupcakes a bit more rich. For those not wanting to cook with butter, margarine is fine. This was originally given as a 'child-friendly' recipe and has never failed to delight.

Cookie Dough Stuffed Cupcakes image

I do not exactly remember where or who I received this recipe from but I still couldn't resist posting it anyways. Enjoy!!

Provided by Kathryn Louis

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
2 2/3 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 c chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. To make the cupcakes: 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and brown sugar. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. 2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir together to blend. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl on low speed, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Blend in the vanilla. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula and mix by hand. 3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 2. For the cookie dough filling you'll need: 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature 6 tbsp. light brown sugar, packed 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 7 oz. sweetened condensed milk ½ tsp. vanilla extract ¼ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3. To make the filling: 1. Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 2. Beat in the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until incorporated and smooth. 3. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • 4. To fill the cupcakes: 1. Cut a cone-shaped portion out of the center of each cupcake. Fill each hole with a chunk of the chilled cookie dough mixture. You can be generous with the cookie dough mixture. You'll probably end up with leftover dough.
  • 5. For the frosting you'll need: 3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed 3½ cups confectioners' sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour ¾ tsp. salt 3 tbsp. milk 2½ tsp. vanilla extract To make the frosting: 1. Beat together the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until creamy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. 2. Beat in the flour and salt. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended. Final step! Frost the filled cupcakes as desired, sprinkling with mini chocolate chips and topping with mini chocolate chip cookies for decoration.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cupcake base: For a moist and fluffy cupcake, use a recipe that includes butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. You can also use a boxed cake mix to save time.
  • Don't overfill the cupcakes: Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until they are done: Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done. If there is still batter on the toothpick, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely: Before filling or frosting the cupcakes, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Get creative with your fillings and toppings: There are endless possibilities for fillings and toppings for stuffed cupcakes. Some popular choices include chocolate ganache, buttercream frosting, fruit preserves, and candy.

Conclusion:

Stuffed cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and creativity, you can easily make your own delicious stuffed cupcakes at home. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy dessert to make, give stuffed cupcakes a try!
