How to Fill S’mores Pumpkin Cupcakes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What goes inside of these S’mores Pumpkin Cupcakes? A gigantic dollop of marshmallow cream, of course! Here are a few step-by-step instructions to make this part of the recipe a little easier to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u278a Core the cupcake. <\/strong>This simply means that you need to hollow out the middle of the cupcake just a bit. I used a melon baller to do this (which I linked to above), but apparently cupcake corers are a thing! If you want to go that route, I’ve also linked to a good cupcake corer. Pro tip: be sure the cupcakes have cooled completely<\/em> to room temperature first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u278b Fill the cupcake with marshmallow creme<\/strong>. This can simply be done with a spoon; it’s a little messy, but it’s fine. You could use an “official” cupcake injector like this one if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found that somewhere in between those two methods worked best for me– I spooned my marshmallow cream into a piping bag (you can use a gallon size zipper bag if you don’t keep piping bags on hand), and then filled the cupcakes that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u278c Add the toppings<\/strong>. Replace the “core” of the cupcake. Don’t worry if it doesn’t fit like a perfect puzzle piece– just jam it on there. Once you cover it with chocolate ganache and a toasted marshmallow, any mess underneath will be completely hidden away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate Ganache or Chocolate Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re just not into ganache or you simply prefer the more traditional frosting topping, I thought I’d also make sure you have my favorite recipe for chocolate frosting. You could replace the ganache with this recipe and still add the toasted marshmallow on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
