As we mentioned before, cupcakes are extremely versatile. So much so that we can add not only various ingredients, but also different creams with which to accompany them.
To these muffins in particular, for example, it is ideal to add a little cream on top, when eating them.
To make this cream, you only need cream with a high percentage of fat (minimum 35%), as well as a little icing sugar. When assembling the cream it is very important that it is very cold. To do this, it will suffice to reserve it in the refrigerator a few hours before preparing it.
Put the cream in the mixer glass, and beat with the help of the electric rods at medium speed. Just when the cream is foamy, add the icing sugar (in the quantity you prefer), and increase the speed until the cream begins to thicken.
Reserve the cream until you are ready to serve the cupcakes. Whenever, you just have to add a little cream on top.
