These incredibly rich and chocolatey flourless chocolate cupcakes are fabulous hot out of the oven with some cold ice cream. They are also crowd pleasers at room temperature topped with chocolate whipped cream. Think of them as the the fudgy brownies of the cupcake world!

I originally started making this recipe as a decedent treat for Passover, but it’s wonderful any time of the year a great choice if you are serving dessert to someone who is following a gluten-free diet.

This recipe doesn’t use any fancy ingredients. But, you will need A LOT of chocolate. Because chocolate is the predominant flavor, make sure you use a chocolate that you love. One of my favorite chocolates to bake with is TCHO.

Genuine Tiramisu Cupcakes

Stef — Sat, 23 Jan 2021 02:44:04 +0000

These tiramisu cupcakes are the real thing in cupcake form! The cakes themselves taste just like ladyfingers and they’re soaked in a mixture of espresso and rum. Then, they are gloriously topped with mascarpone custard, whipped cream, and chocolate.

I achieve the perfect topping to cake ratio by baking extra short cupcakes, leaving lots of room for the mascarpone custard and whipped cream.

This recipe takes time and effort, but it’s totally worth it. If you don’t have as much time, try using vanilla cupcakes and tiramisu frosting (that combination is still fantastic, but less authentic).

Flavored like black licorice and decorated with spiders made from licorice and gumdrops, my Halloween Cupcakes are perfect for the spooky holiday! Enlist kids of all ages to have fun while helping you to decorate them.

These adorable Halloween spider cupcakes are the perfect blend of cute and creepy, and 100% delicious!

As I mentioned above, I flavor this recipe like black licorice to go along with the candy theme of the decorations. It’s a unique flavor profile that will make these treats extra special.

Black licorice is a love it or hate it kind of flavor. But, I’ve found that even those who don’t love black licorice enjoy these cupcakes. The flavor isn’t as poignant as it is in the candy.
