My 16 year old daughter, Eleanor, is obsessed with making cupcakes and cakes lately! For Christmas she got a cake decorating kit and lessons, and she has been making sweets constantly ever since. Last week she made these Double Chocolate Mint cupcakes, which are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. The are chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse and topped with mint flavored whipped cream frosting, and they tasted amazing.
These Irish Coffee Muffins are a great way to enjoy a seasonal St. Patrick’s Day treat. Most Irish Muffin recipes I have seen are for Irish Soda Bread Muffins, which are okay, but for me Irish Coffee is better! These muffins combine coffee, Irish Whiskey and cream for a delicious and different taste.
These muffins were very light and moist, much so more than most muffins that I have made! I think it is because they are made with sour cream instead of milk. They taste subtly of whiskey, but the taste is not overwhelming at all, there is just a hint of the flavor.
