Butter Pecan Cupcakes with Praline Cream Filling
Rich. buttery and moist Butter Pecan Cupcakes with a creamy Maple Mascarpone filling and a Praline Buttercream frosting. The flavor of New Orleans in every bite.

Praline. They’re extra rich and buttery with chunks of pecans. Absolutely delicious!

Instead of actually putting praline pieces into the cupcakes I decided to infuse every aspect of the cupcake with the amazing favor of pralines. The ingredients in pralines are butter, sugar, cream and pecans and these Butter Pecan Cupcakes taste just like a praline “cake”. Rich, buttery and very moist.

I added a luscious Praline Cream filling inside the cupcakes. A combination of mascarpone cheese, whipping cream, Imperial Confectioners Powdered Sugar and maple syrup which further enhanced the praline flavor.

For the icing, I made a feathery light praline frosting.
