Triple Chocolate Mousse Cupcakes with Ferrero Rocher

If you haven’t already had a chocolate seizure/meltdown from the title alone of these cupcakes, you may have to sit down when actually eating them… they are just devine!
I wanted to make something which resembled all things easter…. chocolate, chocolate, more chocolate… and my favourite chocolate of all, Ferrero Rocher.

I designed this cupcake using a few various recipes and some of my own ideas.

For the actual cupcake recipe, I used the Triple Choc Muffins from the Women’s Weekly ‘Easy Baking’ book (page. 62).
Very simple to follow with delicious results!  If you don’t own this recipe book, I would highly recommend it.  It’s full of very tempting ideas and baking treats!  Otherwise, any basic chocolate muffin/cupcake recipe would work fine but the more chocolatey, the better!

The next step, I inserted a chocolate mousse filling into the middle of each cupcake using a piping tool.  The long piping piece is easy to push into the cupcake, then you just insert as much as you’d like.  I sqeezed in the mousse until the cupcake was visibly moving outward, full of chocolatey-mousse goodness!
The recipe was found at: http://www.epicurean.com/featured/chocolate-mousse-cupcakes-recipe.html

The topping is also from this website and is actually used to make the mousse. 
Finish off by sprinkling with Flake and adding a Ferrero Rocher to the top.
The outcome is a very delectable looking cupcake, perfect for family and friends… and maybe a couple for yourself!
