Tonight I made Coconut cupcakes, with coconut cream filling, and cream cheese frosting. Thank you to my hubby for his help with the filling (he makes an awesome one!). This was my first time filling cupcakes, and it was fun and simple. I just cut out a little hole in the middle with a knife, filled it up, put the top of the piece that on cut back on as a lid, and frosted. Then I dipped them in sweetened coconut, mmmmmmm!
These were definitely "eat with a fork" cupcakes because of the filling and coconut on top. I thought the coconut may be overwhelming (the recipe has coconut milk, coconut extract, and actual coconut), but the flavor was surprisingly subtle. In the future, I will be sure to sift the dry ingredients, because although the recipe did not say to do this, the cupcakes were not quite as moist as I would have hoped. Oh well, lesson learned! I hope you enjoy!
