Keto S’mores Cupcakes

Keto chocolate cupcakes are amazing, but Keto chocolate cupcakes with a graham cracker crust and toasted marshmallow frosting are out of this world. This dessert might need a bit more time in the kitchen, but it is worth it! These Keto s’mores cupcakes are a hit at gatherings and birthday parties, so make sure you prepare a big batch.

Are these cupcakes moist?

We know what you’re thinking; nothing is worse than biting into a dry and crumbly cupcake. Don’t worry because these Keto s’mores cupcakes are mouthwatering. The secret to their pillowy texture is the cream cheese in the batter. You can substitute the cream cheese with sour cream, but make sure not to skip it. An essential factor in this recipe is to use cream cheese and butter at room temperature; otherwise, you’ll end up with a lumpy batter.

Can you prepare this recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare the cupcakes with the crumb base up to 3 days in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The meringue frosting, however, should be prepared right before serving. Even though frosting will hold its shape, it might become grainy on the inside after one day.

Can you toast the frosting without a torch?

We get it, a torch may not be on your list of essential kitchen tools, but we think it’s an excellent investment. If you don’t have one, you can use your oven broiler to toast these cupcakes. Place the cupcakes back in the pan, and pipe the meringue. Set the broiler to high, and place the frosted cupcakes in the oven. Let them broil for 1-2 minutes, checking on them every 30 seconds.

Recipe Steps

steps 10

1 h 10 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 F / 180 C and line a mini-muffin tin with paper. To a small pan over medium heat, add 3 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add ½ cup almond flour and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Mix in the powdered sweetener and cinnamon. Divide the crumb evenly into the cupcake liners and press them to the bottom. Set the pan aside.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add 1/2 cup almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until no lumps remain. Set the bowl aside.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    To a large bowl, add 2 tbsp of room temperature butter, cream cheese, and granulated erythritol. Beat using a hand mixer until combined. Add the egg and continue to mix.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Fold the mixture using a spatula until incorporated. Do not overmix.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Divide the chocolate cupcake batter into the cupcake slots. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Meanwhile, prepare the meringue frosting.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Let it run on low speed while you prepare the allulose syrup. Add the allulose and water to a saucepan and heat over medium heat.
    Step 7
  • Step 8

    Turn the speed of the mixer to medium and whip to soft peaks. Meanwhile, watch the syrup closely and measure its temperature using a candy thermometer. Remove the saucepan when the syrup reaches 240F (115 C).
    Step 8
  • Step 9

    While the mixer is running, pour the syrup slowly into the sides of the bowl. Avoid pouring the syrup directly over the whipped egg whites. When all the syrup is in the bowl, turn the speed to high and whip until a thick and glossy meringue forms. It should also be cool to the touch at this stage.
    Step 9
  • Step 10

    Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted. Cut the bottom and pipe the meringue over the cupcakes. Use a torch to toast the meringue to your desired color and serve immediately.
    Step 10

    What’s the difference between erithritol and allulose?
