Buñuelo Berry Muffin Cups
These simple cups remind me of buñuelos that are traditionally made during Christmas. They are basically Mexican fritter muffin cups filled with homemade Chantilly cream, and topped with delicious roasted berries. I made them with my son and we had a blast in the kitchen together.
