Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• to taste optional Fresh cranberries, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the poke mixture. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream over low heat until warmed through.
7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke several holes in each cupcake.
8. Pour the warm poke mixture over the cupcakes, allowing it to seep into the holes.
9. Let the cupcakes cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and a tablespoon of milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cupcakes.
11. Garnish with fresh cranberries, if desired.
12. Serve and enjoy!
