Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Marshmallow Icing

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Marshmallow Icing


I made these chocolate chip cupcakes with marshmallow icing last weekend. The original plan was to try and use the marshmallow icing to create a ghost shape and then use black icing or chocolate chips for the eyes, ready for Halloween. It would have worked beautifully, if I had used the biggest circle icing nozzle but I used the next size down which didn't make large enough swirls. Oh well, they weren't ghosts but they were pretty delicious!

Marshmallow icing, if you have never had it, is essentially a buttercream with melted marshmallow added to it. When it is set, it's soft and pliable. You need quite a good grip to pipe it, but it holds the shape that you pipe, beautifully. Biting into it is like eating a marshmallow but with a thicker texture. It tastes delicious! I can imagine it would be beautiful on top of dark chocolate cakes too.

The cupcakes in their accidental form would be great for kids parties. Chocolate chip cake is always a crowd pleaser and it's very simple to make. You can also decorate the marshmallow icing with anything that you can push into it. Sprinkles will just fall off, but you can push chocolate chips, sugar crystals etc into it enough that they will stay.

Hope you enjoy!
