Hi-Hat Cupcakes: These are double chocolate cupcakes piled high with a vanilla marshmallow-like meringue then dipped into chocolate. Reminds me of a chocolate dipped ice cream cone from Dairy Queen...but sooooo much tastier :) TFL!
Thanks guys! They're actually pretty easy, just bake up your favorite chocolate cupcakes then if your familiar with making Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream, make up a batch of that but do not add the butter. Add whatever flavorings you like, I added clear vanilla and a tiny bit of almond extract then whip again for a few minutes. When the cupcakes are cool, pipe big mounds of meringue on with an open round tip or a cut off bag. Put the cupcakes in the fridge.
Next, make the choc glaze which is 12 oz chocolate, melted and 3 Tbsp veg oil. Let cool for 15 min at room temp. Then take the cupcakes out of the fridge and dip,
Place the cakes back into the fridge to set the chocolate after dipping or pouring on the chocolate. I have been told that these are my best cupcakes ever, and I make a lot of cupcakes! :)
OMG... I think I've just gained 5 pounds looking at these delicious things. Thanks for sharing how to acomplish this. I can't imagine that mine would turn out so perfect. Wow!!!
sorry, dip them into the chocolate glaze, or you can spoon the chocolate over too. It sometimes helps to freeze the cupcakes before dipping if your cakes are moist and delicate
