Fat Free Chocolate Custard Cupcakes

Hello and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Today's recipe was inspired by a combination of having a random box of pudding to get rid of before break, having a cup of Karo syrup to get rid of before break, and one of my favorite recipes, Fat Free Chewy Chocolate Cookies. 

Thanks to Emmy for baking with me, and to Emma and Lauren for being our first tasters! 

The Recipe: 

• 1 box vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups fat free milk
• 1.5 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 pack hot cocoa mix
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup Karo Syrup
• 3 egg whites

The Process: 

1. Boil milk on the stove and mix with pudding. 
2. Chill in the fridge for about 6 hours, or until it sets. 
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176.7 degrees C). 
4. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. 
5. Add karo syrup and egg whites. 
6. Bake in cupcake forms for about 8 minutes (depending on your oven). 
7. Allow to cool. 
8. Fill cookie press (with filling tip) with pudding and inject into cupcakes. 
9. Once all cupcakes have been filled, mix cocoa with pudding and ice cupcakes. 
10. Enjoy!

So it's not the most healthy, but it's much healthier than most other cupcakes, and fat free! The recipe makes 10 cupcakes, so each cupcake has 207 calories and is absolutely delicious. 

What went right: 

          If you're going to treat yourself to a cupcake, this is the cupcake to have! It's super delicious and satisfies the sweet tooth in the most lean way possible. 

What went wrong: 

           Nothing :) The only thing that could have worked better is the icing tip with the pudding. Pudding doesn't mold as easily as frosting, but is that really expected? 

Overall, an amazingly yummy, unbelievably healthy treat!
