Add some white chocolate chips and/or cherries to batter before baking. Or use as topping. I like to dip stemmed cherries in melted white chocolate before I set atop. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups white chocolate chips |
1 1/2 cups butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 1/4 cups cherry jam or 1 1/4 cups cherry pie filling |
18 cherries, with stems |
edible glitter or red candy sprinkles |
1 white chocolate baking bar |
Directions:
1. Prepare, bake and cool cupcakes.
2. Melt 2 1/4 c white chocolate chips, cool slightly.
3. On medium speed, beat butter until fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate, vanilla, confectioners' sugar until smooth.
4. Chill until thickened (approx 15 mins).
5. Spoon jam or filling until freezer bag. Snip 1/4 hole in one corner. Insert bag tip 1 deep into center top of each cupcake. Squeeze 1 Tbs jam into each.
6. Transfer frosting into pastry bag fitted with decorative tip and pipe over cupcakes.
7. Optional topping:.
8. Sprinkle with edible glitter or red sprinkles and white chocolate shavings from chocolate bar. Melt remaining white chocolate and barely dip fresh cherries into mixture. Cool and set atop each cupcake.
