Roasted Pear Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making an elegant autumn treat that brings together caramelized roasted pears folded into a tender cupcake batter, topped with silky cream cheese frosting. The trickiest part is keeping an eye on the pears while they roast so they turn golden without burning, and then letting the baked cupcakes cool completely before frosting so it doesn't melt.

Roast the pears

Peel the pears, remove the cores and cut into small pieces. Mix the sugar with the spices and sprinkle over the pears placed in a baking dish. Bake in an oven preheated to 190 °C for about 20 minutes.

Watch the colour

Keep an eye on the pears as they bake, since every oven runs a little differently — you don't want them to burn. They should turn a lovely golden colour. The sugar will melt and caramelise, and the pears will release a little juice.

Let them cool

Let the roasted pears cool slightly. Set aside about twenty small pieces to decorate the finished cupcakes.

Fold in the pears

Mix until you have a smooth batter that isn't too runny. Finally, fold in the roasted pear pieces along with the juice they released while baking.
7/9

Bake and cool completely

Divide the batter among paper liners in a muffin tin, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 25 minutes. Let the baked muffins cool completely, otherwise the frosting will melt on top.

Frosting

Beat the softened butter with the sugar and cinnamon. Add the cream cheese and beat until you get a smooth, light frosting. Chill it briefly in the fridge until it firms up a little.
