Vanilla Snowman Cupcakes

Ingredients

for the dough:

85 g butter

150 g sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

150 g flour

1.5 tsp baking powder

1 pinch salt

120 g milk

For one snowman:

25 g coconut flakes

1 tbsp condensed milk

Chocolate

Tangerine

For the frosting:

200 g cottage cheese

70 g powdered sugar

100 ml milk

Whisk the sugar and butter thoroughly until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract, half the dry ingredients (sift the flour with baking powder and salt), milk, and the remaining flour mixture. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners and bake at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes (check with a toothpick). Remove and let the cupcakes cool completely.

Mix the shavings with condensed milk, form three balls of varying sizes, and roll them in coconut flakes. Thread the resulting balls onto a toothpick, and draw eyes, a mouth, and buttons with melted chocolate. Cut a scarf and nose from a tangerine peel.

Mix all the frosting ingredients until smooth with an immersion blender, then spread them on the cooled cupcake. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and place the snowman on top.

Bon appétit!
