Last weekend we were invited to a friends house for dinner. I was asked to bring dessert! My son selected these cupcakes for us to make and bring. I really enjoy baking and this was a fun dessert to make.
The recipe called for graham flour, I had never heard of it and I don’t think many places carry it. Luckily, I found it on my third stop. That is honey dripping down the side of the mixing bowl.
Once the dry and wet ingredients were mixed together I scooped them into the muffin tin with an ice cream scooper. It makes the cupcakes evenly sized and less of a mess!
I am melted the chocolate with the heated heavy cream
I just love chocolate! Look how good that looks being folded together
Cooling on the rack
I iced the cupcakes with the chocolate ganache – adding a little extra for the chocolate lovers!
I used a candy thermometer to heat the sugar and water to the correct temperature
I whipped the sugar water with gelatin to make the marshmallow topping
My husband used this little torch to “roast” the marshmallow topping. I have to admit he ended up using his industrial torch to finish all of them
Looking good!
All done and ready to go out the door!
