You had me at hello….. you read the title correctly- hot milk cupcakes with a whipped cream and fresh cherry filling. I can not tell you how delicious this recipe is… heating the milk and butter adds such a deep flavor to these cupcakes you may want to add this liquid to many of your recipes. It almost gives it a custard type flavor. Yup-delicious!
I used cherries because they were in season but you could very easily substitute out any type of fruit. Peaches, strawberries, blackberries…. really whatever you like will work beautifully with these cupcakes.
