Welcome to Alfajor Cupcakes part deux.  A few weeks ago I made Chocolate Alfajor Cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting swirled with dulce de leche.  They were, to put it lightly…to die for.  So, just to make sure I’m covering all bases, I baked some white chocolate ones.  Truth be told, there are some people out there that don’t LIKE chocolate.  Craziness.  They prefer white, which I affectionately call naked chocolate.  Pair naked chocolate with dulce de leche and I’m sold.

I found a recipe for white chocolate cupcakes from The Curvy Carrot, which boasted to give a moist cupcake with ultimate white chocolate flavor.  It was exactly what I was looking for.  I wanted to make sure when eaten, it was unmistakably a white chocolate cupcake and not vanilla.  I crumbled some of my favorite Alfajor cookies (these were dipped in white chocolate) and baked them right in the batter.  The Alfajor cookies can be found on Gaucho Direct.  Even if you aren’t planning on making these cupcakes, get some Alfajores.  You won’t be disappointed.  They rock.  The frosting is simple and easy, made with tons of dulce de leche.  To make  a stiffer frosting just add a little more sugar than the recipe calls for.  It comes out fluffy and caramely and just plain yummy.

I love these cupcakes.  I’m sure you will too.

These have totally made me a believer in “naked chocolate”.
