Ingredients

For the Brownie Cupcakes:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

For the Red Berry Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, or cherries)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

For the Topping:

  • Fresh berries for garnish (e.g., raspberries or strawberries)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: Whipped cream or melted chocolate for an extra touch

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Red Berry Filling

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the berries and sugar over medium heat.
  2. Cook until the berries release their juices and soften (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
  5. Spoon a small amount of batter (about 1 tablespoon) into each cupcake liner.

Step 3: Add the Red Berry Filling

  1. Add 1 teaspoon of the cooled berry filling into the center of each cupcake.
  2. Cover the filling with more brownie batter until the liners are about 3/4 full.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the edge (not the center) comes out with moist crumbs.
  2. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Decorate

  1. Spoon a dollop of the remaining berry filling on top of each cupcake.
  2. Garnish with fresh berries and dust with powdered sugar.
  3. For extra indulgence, add a swirl of whipped cream or drizzle with melted chocolate.

Tips for Success

  • Berry Options: Use your favorite berries or even a mix for a dynamic flavor.
  • Don’t Overfill: Ensure the batter and filling don’t overflow the liners for neat cupcakes.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

These Brownie Cupcakes with Red Berry Filling and Topping are the ultimate balance of rich chocolate and fruity brightness. Perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a little self-love dessert! 🍓🍫🧁
