Carrot Cake Ice Cream Cupcakes Recipe 455

EASY CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and the nutmeg until well blended.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars, and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined.
• Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
• Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 of the way to the top. Bake until the tops of the cupcakes are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt with a handheld mixer on medium speed until very creamy, about 2 minutes.
• For the creamiest frosting, sift the powdered sugar or whisk until most large lumps are gone.
• Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time until fluffy. For a thicker frosting, add an additional 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
• To make spiced frosting, beat in a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom.

• Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

CARROT CAKE ICE CREAM CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the carrot cake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9" x 9" baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Combine 2 Tbsp of the flour, all of the coconut and macadamia nuts in a food processor and process until the nuts are finely chopped. Set aside. Whisk the remaining flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium-size bowl until the ingredients are well combined. Beat the sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat well. Next, add the vanilla. Add the flour-spice mixture and mix until all of the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the coconut-macadamia mixture, the carrots, and crushed pineapple. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. While the cake is cooling, make the cupcake liners. Start by melting the white chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Use a pastry or paint brush to paint the chocolate inside six individual silicone cupcake molds. Apply at least 3-4 layers per cupcake mold and freeze in between layers to help the chocolate set faster. To prepare the cream cheese ice cream, whisk the sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in a medium-size mixing bowl. Combine the milk, heavy cream, and the half-and-half in a medium-size sauce pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and then remove the pan from the heat. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the sauce pot. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture coats the back of a metal spoon, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the cream cheese until smooth. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve and then chill the mixture over an ice bath. After the mixture is completely cooled, stir in the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Place the ice cream in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours before assembling the cupcakes. By this time, the cake should be cool. Remove it from the pan and cut the cake into small circles so they'll fit inside the silicone cupcake molds you made earlier. Wrap the circles in plastic wrap and freeze until needed. To assemble the cupcakes, place a cake circle inside each of the white chocolate molds. Then, scoop a small cream cheese ice cream ball and drop it on top of the cake. Finally, pipe the store-bought icing on top of the cream cheese ice cream and top the cupcakes with toasted coconut or carrot cake crumbs. Freeze until ready to serve.

CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the cupcake pans by spraying with nonstick coating and using cupcake liners.
• In a small bowl, pour the hot water over the raisins to rehydrate and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and cinnamon, and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn oil, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs. Mix well to fully incorporate. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients, stirring to fully incorporate. Drain the raisins and squeeze out the moisture. Fold them in to the batter with the carrots and walnuts.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake pans and bake until the cupcakes spring back when lightly touched with a finger, about 20 minutes. Cool.
• To assemble: Core and fill the cupcakes with the Maple Cinnamon Pastry Cream Filling after they have cooled. Frost the cupcakes with the Cream Cheese Frosting using a pastry bag or offset spatula.
• Optional garnish: Using orange and green food color and some marzipan or almond paste, form carrots by rolling a ball of marzipan in the palms of your hand. Use a knife to make marks in the carrots and make a small batch of greens to attach to each carrot.
• The key to making pastry cream is in the set up. It's best to set the stage with everything before you start cooking anything.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and place in a medium mixing bowl with the maple flavoring and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, place 1/2 cup water and some ice and set aside; you will need it to help cool and stop the cooking of the pastry cream.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 ounces sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon, and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, the remaining 2 ounces sugar and vanilla bean.
• Now that the stage is set, add the sugar-cornstarch mixture to the eggs, mixing really well with a whisk.
• Bring the milk to a boil on the stove, and then temper it into the sugar-egg mixture (pour very slowly while whisking the eggs, so that you slowly raise the eggs' temperature). Put it all back into the pot and back on the stove. Whisking constantly, cook the pastry cream until it boils for at least 30 seconds. It will quickly pass a lumpy stage and then get creamy and shiny. Immediately dump it into the bowl with the butter and mix to incorporate fully. Place the bowl in the prepared ice bath and stir to cool. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
• In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter to soften. Add the cream cheese in bits, about 2 tablespoons at a time. Scrape down the bowl and mix on medium speed until fully combined. Add the powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla.

CARROT ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• For the Carrot Cake:
• In a kitchen aid bowl, with paddle attachment, add the oil and sugar. Mix well, about 1 minute.
• Add the eggs to the bowl and mix. Once the eggs are mixed, sift the dry ingredients and add to the bowl. Mix until incorporated. When the flour has been mixed, add the carrots, drained pineapple and nuts. Mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Pour the mixture onto a full sized sheet pan that has been lined with a silpat.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake until golden brown, approximately 10 minutes, rotating at the halfway point.
• Cool the cake to room temperature then place in the freezer to chill.
• For the Cheese Ice Cream:
• Place the milk, cream, half of the sugar, glucose and salt in a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer.
• While this is heating, crack the yolks, and place the other half of the sugar to the side.
• Place the cheese in a bain marie that has an ice bath nearby.
• Once the milks are hot, whisk the sugar into the yolks, temper the eggs with the hot milk, and stir. Place it back in the pan, and onto medium heat. Cook the ice cream until thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Pour the anglaise into the bain marie, over the cheese. Allow it to cool completely, then burmix the anglaise and strain it through a fine sieve. Pour into your ice cream machine and chill in freezer for at least 1 hour.
• For the Carrot Ice Cream:
• Begin by peeling and juicing approximately 30 carrots. Using a juicer, juice the carrots to yield 2 liters juice. Cook the carrot juice until reduced to about 17 to 18 ounces. It should have become thick.
• Juice 1 pineapple with a juicer and then just like the carrot juice, cook it until reduced to 3 1/2 ounces.
• To begin the ice cream, place the milk and cream in a saucepan. Mix together the sugar, dry milk, dry glucose and stabilizer. Whisk it into the milks. Cook the mixture to 185 degrees F.
• While the mixture is heating pour the carrot juice and pineapple into a bain marie with an ice bath. Pour the mixture over the juices and cool completely.
• Strain through a chinois and put in ice cream machine. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
• For the Pineapple Chips:
• With the left over pulp from the grated pineapple from the carrot cake, place it into the blender and puree. Pat the chips out onto a silpat and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Preheat the oven to 210 degrees F.
• Place the chips into the oven for at least 2 hours.
• Once the chips are dry, take the chips out of the oven, and turn the temperature up.
• Using a small wooden dowel, heat the chips until pliable and roll the chips around the dowel and then pull them off. Cool, set aside.
• For the Pineapple Sauce:
• Using fresh Pineapple, peel 2 pineapples, cut them up and remove the core. Place it into the blender and puree until smooth. Strain the puree through a chinois. Mix the sugar, pectin and salt. In a pan combine the puree with the sugar and pectin and add the vanilla.
• Cook on medium heat until thick, approximately 3 minutes after it comes to a simmer.
• Strain the sauce and put into a bain marie to cool completely. Place in a squeeze bottle.
• For the White Chocolate Spray:
• Heat the cocoa butter until melted in the microwave. Heat the white chocolate separately in the microwave until melted. Now that the 2 are melted, burmix them together and mix in the vanilla and salt. Strain through a chinois. Keep in a warm place until ready to spray your cake.
• For the Fondant Sugar Work:
• Place the glucose and fondant together in a small pan, and cook until pale golden. Pour it into a small glass bowl. Allow to cool but not set up.
• For the Hickory Nut Sugar Spears:
• While cooling pierce 6 hickory nuts with toothpicks. Place a piece of masking tape up on the edge of a table or the edge of a shelf. Dip the nut into the sugar and stick the toothpick into the masking tape so that it can hang and the sugar drips and it cools. Cut it however long you want your spear.
• Assemble the cake:
• Now that the cake is frozen, cut out pieces of cake using a 6-inch cake ring. With large cookie cutters cut out 2 more circles that are 4 inches in diameter. Place the cake ring on a cardboard that is the same size. Line the ring with a piece of acetate. Place the largest piece of cake on the bottom.
• Paddle the cheese ice cream in a kitchen aid bowl to soften it. Place it into a piping bag and pipe around the base of the cake and all the way up the sides of the ring. Just so the sides of the ring are covered with ice cream. Allow it to chill 5 minutes.
• Paddle the carrot ice cream the same way, and place it into a piping bag.
• Pipe a layer of ice cream over the cake. Place it into the freezer 10 minutes.
• Place another layer of cake, and repeat with ice cream. Place it into the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Pipe a thin layer of pineapple sauce over the ice cream. Allow to freeze for 10 minutes.
• Pipe a layer of cheese ice cream over the sauce. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Place the last cake over, and pipe the cheese ice cream on the top to finish. With an off-set long metal spatula, smooth out the top. Allow the cake to freeze for at least 1 hour.
• Once frozen, pull out the cake, remove the ring and the acetate. Smooth out the sides.
• Prepare to spray the cake with the white chocolate spray.
• Once the cake is sprayed, place it into the freezer while tempering chocolate.
• Temper chocolate and spread onto transfer sheet, cut as desired. Place the tempered chocolate on the outside of the cake, adhering it by using honey. Garnish the top with pineapple sauce and hickory nut spears.
• Serve with pineapple sauce.
