Ingredients:

1¼ cups Creamy Real Butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup milk

4 large eggs, separated

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 tsp lemon juice

2 cups semisweet mini chocolate chips or dairy free chocolate chips, divided use

¾ cup heavy cream or full fat coconut milk (canned)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place paper cupcake liners in a 12 cup standard muffin tin.

2. In a mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, milk, egg yolks, vanilla, baking soda, and salt.

3. With clean beaters, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir a large spoonful of egg whites into the butter mixture. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites until the mixture is no longer streaky. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

4. Place the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Bring the cream to almost a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

5. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cooled cupcakes. If you want to Ice the Cupcakes, use 1 stick butter at room temperature, 1 lb. of Confectionery Sugar, and some Cream. If you want to add 1 block of Cream Cheese, that is awesome! Whip the Butter, Confectionery Sugar, and Cream Cheese (at Room Temp) together, once blended, add enough cream to make it spreadable - it is awesome and Gluten Free!

Bon Appetit!
