Preparation
- First prepare the pumpkin puree. To do this, boil the pumpkin (butternut or Hokkaido) in a little water and the orange juice until soft and then puree with the spices until smooth. Season to taste.
- Muffins:
- Stir margarine and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs a little at a time.
- Fold in the spices and the pumpkin ice cream. Gradually mix the flour into the mixture.
- Fill into muffin tins (spray with SENNA separating fat beforehand) and bake at 160° for 20-25 minutes.
- Leave to cool.
- Frosting:
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie (Caution: max at 45°C).
- Whip the whipped cream (chill for at least 12 hours before use, according to the package instructions), fold in the chocolate and the spices and flavourings.
- Cool.
- Cover the muffins with the frosting and decorate as desired.
Our tip
For Halloween cupcakes: Add food colouring to the frosting! Decorate with homemade chocolate spider webs.
