In case you were wanting the recipe for these little gems from the New Member Mixer at Savory Spice Shop on 6th Street, here it is!
Mango Chile Lime Cupcakes
9 key limes, zest and juice
1 mango, diced (about 1 cup)
1 tsp Peruvian Chile Lime seasoning
1 cup coconut milk
5 large eggs
1 cup oil
1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
1/2 cup cane sugar
2 cups organic unbleached flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Pre-heat oven to 325ºF and line a mini cupcake pan with paper cups.
Cook the mango with a tablespoon of water until soft. Use an immersion blender to puree the mango. To reduce the fibers, push through a wire strainer and squeeze and juices from the fibrous pulp.
Combine the wet ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add the wet to the dry and mix well. Pour about a tablespoon of batter in each mini cupcake liner. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
The frosting is vanilla cream cheese buttercream.
8 oz soft cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 cup Crisco
2 tbsp meringue powder
2 tbsp vanilla extract (Pro tip from Savory Spice Shop: don’t put your vanilla in the fridge!)
enough water to make the consistency you like (about 2-4 tbsp)
16 oz confectioner’s sugar
Whip until incorporated. Keep chilled until ready to use.
Mmm sounds good! I’m finding I like a little heat in my baking!
Saw a recipe today on Food Network: Hey Hot Stuff Pot de Creme (chocolate hazlenut sriracha pudding) 😛 Sounds interesting! The cupcakes sort of just came to me early Saturday morning. Thankfully they worked out well.
these were awesome, heather! i’ve never used coconut sugar but now may have to try.
Got it at Costco, a big bag for $12. Haven’t seen it at Whole Foods yet, but wasn’t looking for it there. I also use the coconut sugar in my chocolate chocolate banana muffins and the kids can’t tell the difference 😛
These look fantastic! Nice job!
Thanks! The owner, Karen asked for the recipe so I posted it when I got home 🙂
Thanks for posting, these were wonderful!
Thanks Lisa 🙂
I’m going to try this, but I’m wondering (I assure you I’m not being picky — I just want to know)…
Is “Peruvian Chile Lime seasoning” a particular type of spicy lime seasoning (hence — “chili”), or is it a lime seasoning from South America?
And whatever the answer is, is this something I can get at Savory?
Hi Bob! The Peruvian Chile Lime Seasoning was a blend from Savory Spice Shop. I’m sure a bit of Ancho Chile powder with a bit of cumin would complement the mango and lime zest. If you’ve ever had those Mango-Chile suckers from Mexico, that was the inspiration 🙂 Happy Baking!
Ahh, ok. So they’re a bit spicy. I like that. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks.
