Ingredients

  • ½ cup (50g) Cocoa Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Hot Water
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons (75mL) Milk
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ¼ cups (275g) Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ cup (113g) Unsalted Butter softened
  • 3 Eggs
  • 18 Peppermint Cookie Lindor Truffles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • In a small bowl, add the cocoa powder and hot water. Mix together until a thick paste begins to form.
  • Add the milk to the chocolate paste and mix until the paste becomes a smooth chocolate mixture.
  • In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment on low speed, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, softened butter, eggs, and chocolate mixture. Mix until just combined, careful not to over mix the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the cupcake pan. Bake for 22-24 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • After the cupcakes have cooled for 5 minutes, remove the center of the cupcakes. Gently insert a Lindor Truffle into the center of each cupcake.
  • Place the center of the cupcake back over the top of the truffle and press down to completely cover. Once the cupcakes have cooled, decorate with your frosting of choice.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

To remove the center of the cupcakes, you can use a large piping tip, an apple corer, or gently use a sharp knife to cut out the center. Be sure to stop halfway and avoid cutting through to the bottom of the cupcake. This will result in the cupcake falling apart.
