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 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 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
• For garnish White chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake 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.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
9. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the white chocolate-cranberry poke filling. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream over low heat until warm.
10. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cupcakes.
11. Pour the warm white chocolate-cranberry poke filling over the cupcakes, allowing it to seep into the holes.
12. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
13. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough milk to make a thick glaze.
14. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes and garnish with white chocolate shavings.
15. Serve and enjoy!
