Nutella Cupcakes
For this week I have decided to make something that is yummy for this Easter weekend. Nutella cupcakes! Who doesn’t like Nutella? This is a dessert that will be delicious and easy to make. This is a great idea to enjoy the winning chocolate from one of my old post. Why Nutella? Well Nutella is the filling on the inside of the Ferrero Rocher chocolate. That is why if you love Ferrero then you can enjoy it all the way. I thought of a way to bring this chocolate into a recipe, and I keep on thinking of using it as a sort of topping. So I decided to make this cupcake recipe and top it off with the great Ferrero Rocher.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Nutella, divided use
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- cream cheese, at room temperature
- Ferrero Rocher chocolates to decorate
Directions
(1) Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line miniature muffin tins with 28 paper liners.
(2) In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add 1 1/2 cups of Nutella. Whisk the eggs and Nutella together until your mixture is smooth and shiny.
(3) Add the flour and gently stir it in, just until the flour streaks disappear. Don’t overwork it.
(4) Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake the cupcakes for about 13-15 minutes, until the tops are puffed and cracked and spring back when lightly pressed. Let the cupcakes cool while you prepare the frosting.
(5) Combine the remaining 1 cup Nutella and the cream cheese in a mixing bowl, and beat on medium-speed until combined, light, and fluffy.
(6) Put the frosting you just made on top of the cooled cupcakes, and top each with a yummy Ferrero Rocher chocolate.
