3. Fill the Cupcakes

  1. Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small paring knife or a cupcake corer to cut a hole in the center of each cupcake, leaving a small rim at the bottom.
  2. Spoon or pipe the chilled custard filling into the holes using a piping bag or a small spoon.
  3. Gently press the cut-out piece back on top of the filling if desired.

4. Make the Chocolate Glaze

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling.
  2. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over them.
  3. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  4. Stir in the optional vegetable oil or butter for extra shine.

5. Assemble the Cupcakes

  1. Dip the tops of the filled cupcakes into the chocolate glaze or drizzle it over with a spoon.
  2. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • For Parties: Arrange the cupcakes on a tiered stand for an elegant dessert display.
  • With Extras: Add sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of powdered sugar for decoration.
  • Pairings: Serve alongside coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk for a nostalgic treat.
  • Meal Prep: Store unfilled cupcakes and custard separately in the fridge for up to 2 days, then assemble before serving.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use a Piping Bag: For a neater custard filling, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
  • Chill Before Glazing: Cold cupcakes help the chocolate glaze set faster.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the custard and bake the cupcakes a day in advance to save time.
  • Homemade Touch: If you prefer, make the cupcakes from scratch using your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe.
