Puffins Recipe (Hybrid Dessert)

Servings: 12 Puffins

Total Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 mini muffins
• 1 1/2 cups whipped cream
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 12 strawberries (sliced)

Directions:

1. Cut off the top of each mini muffin and scoop out a small amount of the center to create a hollow space for the filling.
2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave for 30 seconds or on a double boiler until smooth and creamy.
3. Dip the edges of each muffin top into the melted chocolate and place them on a wax paper-lined tray to cool and harden.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s stiff enough to hold its shape.
5. Spoon the whipped cream mixture into a pastry bag or large ziplock bag with a corner cut-off and pipe the mixture into the center of each muffin.
6. Top each filled muffin with a slice of strawberry and the chocolate-dipped muffin top.
7. Serve and enjoy your delicious Puffins.

Verdict:

Puffins are the perfect hybrid dessert, combining the best elements of muffins and cream-filled pastries. The crunchy, chocolate-dipped muffin top is a wonderful contrast to the light and fluffy whipped cream and juicy strawberry filling. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.

Serving Suggestions:

Puffins are best served fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Serve them as a sweet snack or dessert after dinner. You can also customize the filling by using different fruits or adding in some chocolate chips. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to make the perfect Puffins for any occasion!
