...to get your ducks in a row! Follow us on Hot Chocolate Cupcakes
Hot Chocolate Cupakes took first place honors in the Cozi Best Family Desserts Contest. Thanks to Lynne K. for sharing this dessert, and congratulations, Lynne, on your winning recipe!
From Lynne: My son can make it all by himself and we all love it. He often makes it when we're having friends over for dinner because it's a great do-ahead recipe that you can just stick in the refrigerator and take out after dinner. It cooks quickly, is very impressive when served, and makes him look like a 5-star chef!
Because of the name, we couldn't resist making this dessert, and it didn't dissapoint. The cupackes come out of the oven with dark, gooey chocolate inside and a light crust on top.
Ingredients
- 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- whipped cream
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 12 cup muffin pan with muffin papers.
- Combine chocolate and butter in a small heavy saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Using an electric mixer, beat sugar, eggs and egg yolks in large bowl until a thick ribbon falls when beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. Sift flour over. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour.
- Fold in melted chocolate mixture. Divide batter among muffin papers. Cover and chill until cold and firm, at least one hour.
- Bake cupcakes in papers on a baking sheet until tops are puffed and cracked and tester inserted into center comes out with moist batter attached, about 7 minutes. Serve cupcakes with whipped cream.
