Cupcakes with Two-Chocolate Cream

17/11/2023

The cupcakes with two-chocolate cream are a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of milk chocolate with the intensity of dark chocolate.

Ingredients

For the cupcakes:

  • 200 g of all-purpose flour
  • 150 g of sugar
  • 80 g of butter at room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the two-chocolate cream:

  • 100 g of dark chocolate
  • 100 g of milk chocolate
  • 200 ml of fresh cream for whipping
  • 50 g of powdered sugar

Preparation

  1. Prepare the cupcakes:

    • In a bowl, cream the soft butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Sift in the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt, then mix until you have a smooth, homogeneous dough.
    • Fill cupcake liners or small cake molds up to 2/3 of their height with the batter.
    • Bake at 180 °C for about 20 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden brown and well-risen. Do the skewer test to ensure they are cooked inside.
    • Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

  2. Prepare the two-chocolate cream:

    • Break both types of chocolate into pieces and put them in two separate bowls.
    • In a saucepan, bring the fresh cream with the powdered sugar to a boil, then pour half over the dark chocolate and half over the milk chocolate.
    • Let sit for a minute and then mix each bowl until you have two smooth and glossy creams.
    • Allow the creams to cool and thicken, stirring occasionally.

  3. Assemble the cupcakes:

    • When both the cupcakes and the creams are cool, proceed to fill the cupcakes: you can use a piping bag to layer first a layer of milk chocolate cream and then a layer of dark chocolate cream.
    • Decorate to taste, maybe with chocolate shavings or colored sprinkles.

As a little curiosity, these sweet treats are often a hit at parties due to their inviting appearance and the winning combination of dark and milk chocolate. Additionally, their individual serving size makes them perfect for a dessert after dinner or to accompany a coffee.

Happy preparation and enjoy your meal!
