7. 10. 2025

These mini walnut cupcakes with chocolate filling are a delicious treat. They consist of a soft buttery dough and are filled with a silky smooth chocolate filling that will melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup powdered sugar
a pinch of salt
3/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup dark chocolate
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup hazelnuts (finely chopped)

Method

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, icing sugar, and salt and mix until combined.
Add the cold chopped butter and stir.
Then add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until a dough forms.
Cover the dough with cling film and let it set in the fridge for at least an hour.
Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and roll it out with a rolling pin, and cut out small circles.
Place the cut dough into the molds.
Poke holes in the bottom of the cupcake with a fork and put them in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.
Melt the dark chocolate and mix it with the cream and nuts.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled cupcakes.
Put the walnut cupcakes in the fridge for 2-3 hours to harden the filling.
