COCONUT CREAM PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Add sugar, cornstarch and salt to a medium bowl and whisk together. Add egg yolks and whisk until combined and smooth. It may be crumbly at first, but keep whisking until a smooth paste forms and it lightens in colour.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until mixture begins to simmer.
• Once coconut milk mixture begins to simmer, immediately remove from heat and slowly pour a little bit into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
• Slowly pour the remaining milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
• Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium heat. and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and begins to boil, about 3-5 minutes. Mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Allow to boil for an additional 30 seconds.
• Remove from heat and add coconut extract and butter. Whisk until butter is melted and combined.
• Strain custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Fold in the shredded coconut, if desired.
• Place plastic wrap directly on top of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350F. Line one 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Lower the speed to medium-low and mix in the eggs, one at a time until just combined.
• Add the sour cream, vegetable oil and coconut extract and mix until combined.
• Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to batter and beat just until combined, then add 1/2 of the coconut milk and mix until just combined. Continue mixing in 1/2 of the remaining dry ingredients, remaining coconut milk, then remaining dry ingredients. Remember to mix each addition until just combined before adding the next.
• Scoop batter into cupcake liners, filling them 2/3 way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Remove cupcakes from oven and allow to cool in pans for about 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely. Meanwhile, make a batch of my Dreamy Coconut Buttercream Frosting (link above).
• Core the centre of each cupcake using the bottom of a large piping tip, or an apple corer.
• Remove the coconut custard from the refrigerator and stir to loosen. Using a disposable piping bag or ziplock bag, fill the cupcakes with the custard.
• Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (I used Wilton 2A). Pipe a swirl onto the cupcakes.
• Hold the cupcake over a plate of toasted coconut and lightly dip while turning the cupcake until it's all coated. Serve and enjoy!
