Pumpkin S'mores Cupcakes Tips
- Only use pumpkin puree for this recipe, NOT pumpkin pie filling
- I used pre-made marshmallow cream/fluff - you could also melt marshmallows instead.
- I highly recommend using piping bags to decorate, you can find them at most grocery stores (Wal-Mart), hobby stores (Michaels) or online.
Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup milk
For the frosting:
- 1 (7 oz) container marshmallow cream/fluff
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- 10 oz snack size Hershey’s chocolates
- ½ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep a cupcake pan with liners. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder and soda, and salt.
- Add in the oil, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin puree, and milk. Mix thoroughly - stopping the mixer, scraping the side and mix again.
- Divide the batter amongst the cupcake liners, filling each cavity about ⅔ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
- To make the frosting - in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, salt, vanilla and about half of the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed for about a minute and then bump up the speed to medium for another minute.
- Add in the remaining powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons worth of the milk. Mix on low for a minute and then on medium for an additional 2 minutes. The frosting should be light and fluffy.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or a rounded teaspoon, scoop out the center of each cupcake - save the pieces to be used again.
- Transfer the marshmallow cream to a piping bag. Pipe a dollop of marshmallow cream into the cavity and replace the scooped out cupcake piece.
- Pipe a large mound of frosting on each cupcake.
- Melt five of the chocolate bars in a microwave safe bowl. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag and cut a small hole in the end of the bag. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosting.
- Insert a half piece of chocolate bar into the frosting and then gently press in a couple mini marshmallows. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
