Sweet Potato Marshmallow Mini Cupcakes Recipes

SWEET POTATO CUPCAKES WITH TOASTED MARSHMALLOW FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners.
• Beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Blend in vanilla extract and sweet potatoes.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl. Add half the flour to the sweet potato mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Blend in the milk and the remaining flour mixture.
• Scoop batter into prepared cupcake pan and bake in preheated oven until tops spring back when touched lightly with a finger and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on rack.
• To make frosting, combine white sugar, cream of tartar, a pinch of salt, egg whites, and cold water in a heatproof mixing bowl. Set the mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is very hot to the touch and stiff peaks have formed, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat 1 minute more. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and marshmallow creme and beat until combined.
• To frost the cupcakes, fill a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip with frosting; pipe mini marshmallow-shaped dots all over the cupcakes. Alternatively, use a knife and frost them generously with lots of swoops and swirls.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Arrange 3 or 4 cupcakes on a baking sheet and place them in the oven under the broiler. Toast until the frosting has started to brown, about 90 seconds (check every 20 seconds and rearrange the baking sheet, if necessary). Repeat with the remaining cupcakes until all are toasted.

SWEET POTATO PIE MARSHMALLOW CUPCAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
• Make the graham cracker crumble: In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham crackers, brown sugar, and oats until well combined.
• Make the cupcakes: In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar and egg with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until combined and smooth, 3-4 minutes.
• Mix in the vanilla and butter, then the sweet potato, until smooth.
• Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and beat to incorporate, then add the milk and mix until well combined.
• Scoop a heaping ¼ cup of batter into each muffin cup, then sprinkle the tops with 1 heaping teaspoon each of graham cracker crumble.
• Bake the cupcakes for 15-17 minutes, or until cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• While the cupcakes are baking and cooling, make the toasted marshmallow frosting: Add the butter to a large bowl. While whipping continuously with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar, then the milk, until smooth.
• Turn the oven to a high broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the Kraft® Jet-Puffed Marshmallows in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Broil, watching carefully, for 60-90 seconds, until the marshmallows are deeply browned on top.
• Remove the toasted marshmallows from the oven and immediately fold into the frosting. Let cool completely. If the frosting is still too soft to hold its shape once cooled, place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, until firm. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip.
• Gently insert the tip of the piping bag through the top of a cupcake into the center and pipe about 1 tablespoon of frosting inside. Then, frost the top of the cupcake and sprinkle with more graham cracker crumble. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
