Time 17m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups cold whole milk
1 (3.4-ounce) box vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
12 pre-made cupcakes baked from a cake mix
1 cup heavy cream
1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Combine milk, instant pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat mixture with a hand mixer for 2 minutes, or until it thickens. Place mixture in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Spoon filling into a pastry bag fitted with a medium-size plain tip. Fill cupcakes with vanilla pudding filling by inserting tip into top of cupcake and squeezing a couple of tablespoons of filling into each cupcake.
  • Heat cream in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appear around the edges. Remove from heat, add chocolate morsels to pan, and whisk until smooth. Spoon or drizzle glaze over cupcakes, or dunk the tops into the glaze. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour, before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

BOSTON CREME MINI-CUPCAKES

Easy to make mini cupcakes that taste like a miniature Boston cream pie! This semi-homemade version of one of my favorite pies is a big hit at potlucks or just for a little snack to have around the house. It is also easy to make in stages and defrosts nicely when ready to serve by just letting them sit out for an hour or so on the counter.

Time 2h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 cup water
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant French vanilla pudding
2 cups cold milk
1 (16 ounce) can prepared chocolate frosting
1 cup whipped cream
6 maraschino cherries, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Stir yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil in a bowl until moistened. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Spoon cake batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes have risen and are lightly golden brown, 15 to 19 minutes. Check for doneness after 10 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk instant French vanilla pudding mix and milk together in a bowl for 2 minutes. Allow pudding to stand for 5 more minutes to thicken.
  • Pipe the vanilla pudding into each cupcake with about 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla pudding.
  • Freeze filled cupcakes for at least 1 hour to make frosting them easier.
  • Spread a very thin coating of chocolate frosting over each cupcake; refrigerate cupcakes for 15 minutes.
  • Spread second, thicker layer of frosting over the first layer. Place small dollop of whipped cream into center of each frosted cupcake and top with a quarter of a maraschino cherry. Refrigerate mini cupcakes until serving time.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or cocoa powder in the cupcake batter.
  • To make the cupcakes extra moist, add a cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.
  • For a taller cupcake, beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and then fold them into the batter.
  • For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk in the pudding mix.
  • To make the frosting easier to spread, let it come to room temperature before frosting the cupcakes.
  • For a more professional look, use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes.

Conclusion:

Boston cream cupcakes are a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. With their moist chocolate cupcakes, creamy vanilla pudding filling, and rich chocolate ganache frosting, these cupcakes are the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are making them for a birthday party, potluck, or just because, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
