Ingredients
  

  • Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans crushed
  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 8 ounces Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 4 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Espresso Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Coffee Liqueur
  • 8 ounces Mascarpone
  • 1/2 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the convection oven to 325 and line 24 regular cupcake pans with liners.
  • Chop the chocolate covered coffee beans; set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Should take between 5 and 8 minutes.
  • Slowly add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • On low speed, gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredient.
  • When the batter is smooth, divide evenly into the cupcake liners.
  • Sprinkle one teaspoon crushed coffee beans on each cupcake. Bake until lightly browned and fully cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan, combine one-third cup water, sugar and espresso powder.
  • Heat over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely melted, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee liqueur.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, confectioners’ sugar, coffee liqueur and vanilla extract.
  • Place the heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Using the whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold one-third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  • Continue folding in the cream in two more additions.
  • Using a fork, poke holes in the tops of the baked cupcakes. Gradually spoon 2 tablespoons of espresso syrup over each cupcake. Place the mascarpone cream in a piping bag fitted with a metal tube and pipe desired amount of cream onto each cupcake. Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
