Instructions
Coconut Pecan Filling:
- Add the brown sugar, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and butter into a medium saucepan over medium heat stirring constantly. Bring to a soft boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, pecans, and shredded coconut.
- Cover and cool in the refrigerator.
Chocolate Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder into the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment. Whisk until all ingredients are combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix until there are no dry spots. Do not overmix.
- Carefully pour in the boiling water and start mixing on low speed. Slowly increase the speed to high and continue mixing for 1 minute.
- Evenly divide the batter between 18 cupcake liners and bake at 350°F for 15-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Frosting:
- Add the softened butter into the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment and cream for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and add in vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add in cocoa powder and mix until there are no dry spots.
- Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and fully combine after each addition. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Pour in the heavy cream and start mixing on low speed and increase to high for 2-3 minutes or until you get a “whipped” consistency.
- Add to a piping bag with a large star tip (I used a Wilton 1M).
Assembly:
- Use a large piping tip or a butter knife to remove the centers of each cupcake. Fill with the coconut pecan filling and replace the top of the cupcake that you removed.
- Pipe a generous swirl of frosting on top of each cupcake.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with chopped pecans and shredded coconut.
- Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
