Lemon Curd Christmas Tree Muffins Recipe:

INGREDIENTS FOR 12 CUPCAKES/MUFFINS :

Muffins:

200 ml oil
160g vanilla icing sugar
200g plain yoghurt
Approx. 300g flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp Morrocan almond extract
1 tsp baking powder

Filling:
12 tsp lemon curd

Buttercream + Decor:

200g butter
200g lemon curd(take away the 12 tsp for the filling)
80g icing sugar
Green food colouring
Christmas decorations

DIRECTIONS:

For the muffins: Add yoghurt, sugar, oil, egg and mix . Add the flour bit by bit and the baking powder and mix well, to incorporate everything. This should have a consistency of sour cream (thick). Fill the muffin cases/cupcake cases 3 quarter full. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Cool down, then make a hole in each muffin and add 1 teaspoon of lemon curd per muffin.

For the buttercream: Mix soft butter with the icing sugar until is soft and fluffy. Add the remaining lemon curd. Mix well and chill for a few minutes. Separate the buttercream in different bowls if you want to use different colours and colour each buttercream.

For décor : Once the muffins are cooled down, filled with lemon curd, you can start piping the buttercream and place any other Christmas decorations you'd like.
