I know I said that the thanksgiving series was over.. but maybe not lol…I present to you Tutti Frutti tres leches cupcakes. Tutti Frutti brings me right back to my childhood. I grew up in India until I was about 11 years old. I remember going to a bakery in India and getting tutti frutti bread or my dad getting me Tutti Frutti paan. I thought why not create something with it as an ode to my childhood.
These cupcakes are super delicious and moist (I can’t believe I’m using that word, because I DESPISE that word). Also, it would be really fun to get your kids involved in making these. My older son (Ahaan) helped me sprinkle on the tutti frutti on top and it brought me back to my childhood. I hope you will create beautiful memories with your family making and eating these. Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving, hope its filled with lots of yummy food and quality time with family. 💕
Stay happy, stay hungry!
Notes:
- Tutti frutti can be found at any local Indian grocery store.
- You can use a toothpick to poke holes into the cupcakes as well, that just won’t soak in as much liquid.
- The frosting is VERY delicate I suggest frosting the cupcakes RIGHT before serving
