Ever since making those raspberry filled chocolate cupcakes, I’ve been dreaming about them – particularly that raspberry filling. Not too sweet, not too tart… I’m tempted to eat the stuff by the spoonfuls! I resist… partly because I suspect I’d get some very disapproving looks thrown my way, but also because I’m just sure I can use this stuff somewhere else – perhaps in my ice cream?? Or, in a chocolate raspberry tart, if you follow:
I’m a fan of using from-the-box ingredients, to make my life a little easier. I’m sure I’ll work up the nerve to make home-made crust one day, but for now I just roll out that Pillsbury crust and use a slim-tipped glass to cut small circles.
Place those into your cupcake pan – they so teeny, don’t they?
And bake! Hopefully they’ll all come out perfectly. I had a few that had large bubbles and couldn’t be used. I’m no crust expert, so I couldn’t say what caused that, but they were mostly the ones I’d made out of the scrap crust (by gathering together and re-rolling out) so it probably has to do with that. Whoops!
