Cozy and comforting hot cocoa cupcakes.
For The Cupcakes:
For The Whipped Cream
Garnishes:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake tins with 18 paper liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a wire whisk, blend the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Add the oil, prepared hot cocoa, vanilla, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Whisk until well incorporated and no lumps remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Evenly divide the batter between the lined cupcakes tins.
Bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes; then place them on a rack to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut cream, Swerve confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until thick, creamy, and slightly stiff, being careful not to overbeat.
Pipe or mound the sweetened whipped cream onto the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with a sprinkling of mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and crushed peppermints. Add a mini candy cane tucked into the side of the cupcake, to make a handle for the “mug” of hot cocoa.
Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
Makes 18 cupcakes.
