Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cupcake batter for 12 cupcakes (from scratch or store-bought)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Lava Filling: In a medium bowl, add softened butter, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and glossy. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture, roll into a ball, and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Cupcake Batter: If using a box mix, follow the package instructions. If making from scratch, prepare your favorite moist cupcake recipe.
- Assemble the Cupcakes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon some batter into each liner, then place a frozen peanut butter ball in the center and cover with more batter.
- Bake the Cupcakes: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a little gooey peanut butter clinging to it.
- Cool and Serve: Allow cupcakes to cool briefly before serving. Enjoy them warm or store for later.
Notes
For a lighter option, consider using natural peanut butter or a sugar substitute in the filling.
