Servings: 8 cupcakes

Ingredients

Cupcakes:

  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 2 Cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute
  • 1/2 Cup Almond Milk
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Tsp Baking Powder

Cheesecake Frosting:

  • 1/2 Cup Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute
  • 6 Oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 6 Tbsp Butter softened

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add all of the cupcake ingredients into a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Mix until nice and smooth.
  • Line cupcake or muffin pan with cupcake liners. You will need 8.
  • Pour cupcake batter into 8 prepared muffin tin cups.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Maybe a few more or less depending on your oven. They will be done when slightly golden and when a toothpick can be pushed into the middle of the cupcake and comes out with nothing sticking to the toothpick.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven. Allow the cupcakes to cool to room temperature. Can leave in the pan or place on a wire rack.

Mixing The Icing & Decorating:

  • In a medium mixing bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the icing ingredients butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Mix until light and fluffy.
  • Ice the cupcakes.
  • When the cupcakes have cooled, frost each cupcake. We used a piping bag to frost ours.
  • Unwrap 8 Reese’s Cups, and place one Reese’s on top of each frosted cupcake. We also added a dot of frosting to the top of the peanut butter cups.
  • Sprinkle the top of the cupcakes before serving.
