Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups blanched slivered almonds
3 large eggs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

    Step 2

    Place the white chocolate chips and almonds in a food processor and process until they have the consistency of coarse sand. Add the eggs and pulse until combined, about 10 seconds.

    Step 3

    Scoop a scant 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.

    Step 4

    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean and the edges of the cupcakes are golden. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 hour, then frost and serve.
