- 1/3 c butter, softened
- 1/2 c sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 c kalabasa, cooked and mashed
- 1/3 c milk
- 1 c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder

Ganache:
- 1/2 c cream
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 c baking chocolate (dark, semi-sweet or white)
- 2 tbsp. butter

Cooking Procedure:
- Preheat the oven @ 375F. In a mixing bowl cream softened butter and sugar until smooth and pale. Add egg one at a time and whisk, then add the vanilla extract. Add mashed kalabasa and milk, then whisk again until incorporated. In another bowl sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder mix until well combined. Fold in dry ingredients into the batter and mix until well combined.
- Line 2 (12 holes) of 1oz. muffin pan with paper cups. Filled each cup 1/2 full or divide batter into 24 paper cups evenly. Bake in a preheated oven 375F for about 10-12 minutes. Let it cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, to prepare your ganache, in a saucepan combine cream and milk and bring to simmer over a low heat. Pour warm cream in a bowl of chopped baking chocolate and butter, let it sit for a minute before stirring. Stir the chocolate until completely melted and becomes smooth and glossy.
- Spoon ganache over the cooled mini-cupcakes and sprinkle with candy toppers, mixed nuts or candied fruits to decorate.
