mum shouldn't have left her recipes lying around,
chocolate cheese cupcake
recipe (makes 9 cupcakes)
30g ginger cookie (for base)
60g dark chocolate ( i recommend any brand with 70% cocoa)
180g cream cheese
75ml whipping cream
1 egg (about 65g)
20g castor sugar
20g cocoa powder
topping
chocolate shavings
icing sugar
cupcake dimensions = 45mm (diameter) & 25mm (height)
how to do
whisk the cream cheese until smooth (if tiny lumps persist, that's ok, they'll melt out later)
pour the whipping cream and whisk some more until hand pain
add castor sugar, cocoa powder and egg and whisk again (use other hand now if the other hand temporarily immobilised)
once mixture is smooth, pour in the melted dark chocolate, (how to melt? use imagination)
after that whisk some more (i realised at this point that i have an electric mixer)
then once smooth, ladle the mixture into the cups which should now be nestled in the baking tray,
bake in pre heated oven at 150 degrees celcius for 20-30 mins
when done, wait for it to cool, then put in fridge,
before serving, sprinkle sugar and chocolate shavings, ¶ 12:03 am
