Como fazer St Patrick's Day Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a food processor, pulse 1 cup pecans, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until pecans are finely chopped but not pulverized. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup unsalted butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs for 4 minutes, until pale and thick. Beat in the cooled melted chocolate mixture until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the ricotta-pecan mixture until evenly distributed.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 2 ounces unsalted butter. Heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 6 ounces white chocolate until melted and smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring until desired color is reached.
- Let the frosting cool slightly, then beat with a hand mixer until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
