Irresistible Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes


Ingredients:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup vanilla pudding
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
6. Once cooled, cut a small circle out of the center of each cupcake and fill it with vanilla pudding.
7. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
8. Spoon the chocolate ganache over each cupcake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the ganache set before serving. Add an extra dollop of whipped cream on top if desired.
