The story behind the recipe

Muffins have a rich history, being a popular dish in many cultures.

This recipe, in particular, pays tribute to coffee lovers by combining muffins with a smooth ness cream. Perfect for starting the day with an energy boost!

Preparation technique

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Ensure that the butter is at room temperature so that it mixes easily with the sugar. Begin to preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) so it’s ready when the muffins are prepared.

2. Preparing the muffin mixture: In a large bowl, add the soft butter and sugar. Mix them together with an electric mixer until you have a creamy and smooth mixture. Now, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

3. Add the milk: Continue by incorporating the milk and vanilla extract into the butter and egg mixture, mixing until smooth.

4. The dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon, just until the ingredients are combined. Avoid overmixing; a less homogeneous mixture will lead to fluffier muffins!

5. Filling the tray: Line the muffin tray with baking cups and fill each compartment with the muffin mixture, leaving a little space at the top to allow the muffins to rise.

6. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the muffins for about 25 minutes. You can check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of one; if it comes out clean, the muffins are perfect.

7. Preparing the ness cream: While the muffins are baking, you can prepare the cream. In a bowl, mix the soft butter with the powdered sugar until creamy. Then, add the cream cheese and ness, mixing until everything is well combined and smooth.

8. Assembling: After the muffins have cooled, generously decorate them with the ness cream. You can use a spatula or a pastry bag for a more elegant look.

Serving suggestions and variations

These ness cream muffins are delicious served warm, alongside a cup of aromatic coffee or tea. If you want to personalize them, you can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even berries to the muffin mixture for an even richer flavor.

For a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the cream and add a bit of Greek yogurt for a creamier and healthier texture.

Nutritional benefits

Ness cream muffins are not just a treat, but also a quick source of energy due to the sugar content in the cream and the protein from the eggs. The flour adds carbohydrates, while the butter and cream cheese contribute healthy fats, proteins, and vitamins. However, like any dessert, it’s best to consume them in moderation, considering the calories that can add up quickly.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can substitute white flour with whole wheat flour for a richer taste and denser texture, but it may require adjustments in the liquid amount.

2. How can I store the muffins? Muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them.

3. Can I use another type of coffee? Absolutely! You can experiment with different types of coffee or flavors, such as cocoa or espresso, to achieve a customized taste.

Ness cream muffins are an excellent choice for any dessert and coffee lover. I encourage you to try them and enjoy this irresistible combination! Enjoy your meal!
