Who doesn’t love a good chocolate cupcake? Since tomorrow is my birthday I wanted to make a very special paleo chocolate cupcake to celebrate. Chocolate is my absolute favorite and naturally I used it for my birthday treat. These Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes are also filled with a coconut cream filling, made from the cream that rises to the top of a can of coconut milk. The filling completely optional and you could probably fill them with other things like a homemade jam or almond butter. Man, now I’m wishing I would have tried other fillings. The frosting is made with avocados and I usually get comments from people that think I’m crazy for using avocado in desserts, but trust me, the frosting doesn’t taste like avocado. The avocado adds a creaminess and sweetness to the frosting which pairs perfectly with the cocoa powder. If you make your frosting smooth enough you will never know what it’s made from. If your avocados aren’t ripe enough you may have to run them through a fine metal strainer to work out any chunks.
Next time you have a birthday celebration these Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes will make a great addition to the party!
