First the pudding is prepared. To do this, mix the milk with the egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla pulp, sugar and salt and bring to the boil over medium heat. Put the pudding in a bowl, cover with cling film and allow to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C top / bottom heat and line a mini muffin tin with paper cases.
Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt, add the remaining ingredients and mix everything into a smooth dough. Pour the batter into the molds and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Make a chopsticks sample. Then let it cool down.
In the meantime, make the brittle. Dissolve the sugar in a pan, stir in the butter and let it caramelize. Stir in the almonds and spread the mixture onto baking paper or a baking mat, roll flat with a silicone roller or a wooden stick wrapped in cling film and, after cooling, chop up with the roller. To do this, fill the brittle in a freezer bag and roll over it with the rolling stick.
For the buttercream, whip the soft butter white for 5 - 10 minutes and gradually stir in the cooled pudding. The pudding and butter should both be room temperature.
Finally, pour the buttercream into a piping bag and spread it on the cupcakes as rosettes. Decorate with cherry and brittle.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
