Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
For the white muffins:
- 6 egg whites
- 6 tablespoons of white sugar
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 4 tablespoons of coconut
- 4 tablespoons of oil
For the dark muffins:
- 250 g flour
- 120 g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons of dark cocoa
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 90 ml oil
- 1 cup of milk
- Chocolate chips (optional)
For the cheese foam:
- 100 g mascarpone
- 50 g powdered sugar
- Vanilla (to taste)
Preparation
1. White muffins:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (medium heat). In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until you obtain a firm foam. This is the key to fluffy muffins, so ensure that the bowl and utensils are completely clean and free of grease.
2. Adding the ingredients:
Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the mixture becomes shiny and well incorporated. Then, add the flour and coconut, gently folding with a spatula or wooden spoon. Finally, incorporate the oil, being careful not to lose the air in the egg white foam.
3. Dark muffins:
In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa, and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients well, then create a well in the center of the mixture and add the egg and oil. Start mixing, then gradually add the milk. If desired, this is the time to add chocolate chips for an even more intense flavor.
4. Forming the muffins:
Take muffin molds (silicone molds are ideal), lightly grease them with oil or use muffin papers. Pour the white and dark mixtures into the molds, alternating the colors for a unique appearance.
5. Baking:
Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you want an even result, check the muffins after 15 minutes and rotate the tray if necessary.
6. Preparing the cheese foam:
In a bowl, combine the mascarpone with the powdered sugar and vanilla. Use a mixer to beat the mixture on high speed until it becomes airy and creamy. This foam will add a touch of elegance to the dessert.
7. Assembly:
Once the muffins have completely cooled, decorate them with melted chocolate (if desired) and add a generous spoonful of cheese foam on each muffin. You can also decorate them with coconut or chocolate flakes for a more appealing appearance.
Serving suggestions
These 'exploding bomb' muffins are perfect for serving at a party or as a refined dessert after dinner. Share them with friends and family alongside a cup of coffee or fragrant tea.
Practical tips
- For moister muffins: Make sure not to overbake the muffins; check them at 15 minutes.
- Vegan option: You can replace the egg whites with 6 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons of water, left to sit for 10 minutes.
- Preserving flavors: The muffins store well in airtight containers but are best enjoyed fresh.
Nutritional information
These muffins are a delicious choice, but like any dessert, it's best to enjoy them in moderation. One muffin has approximately 180-200 calories, depending on the ingredients used. Coconut adds fiber and healthy fats, while dark cocoa is rich in antioxidants.
