Ballerina Cupcakes

For the Ballerina Cupcakes, preheat the oven to 180 degrees top/bottom heat. Line a muffin tray with paper cups. Rinse the lemon with hot water and grate the zest.

Separate eggs and beat egg whites with powdered sugar until stiff. Heat milk and add vanilla. Beat egg yolks with granulated sugar and salt for about 2 minutes until creamy, pour in vanilla milk and stir in lemon zest.

Mix flour with baking powder and quickly stir into batter until no lumps are visible. Fold in beaten egg whites and pour mixture into paper cups.

Bake the muffins for 15 minutes.

While the muffins are baking, prepare the topping: Cut strawberries into small pieces and puree with powdered sugar, preferably with a hand blender.

Stir in the juice of about half a lemon, if desired. Briefly blend the curd and mascarpone and mix the puree into the mixture.

If the cream is too liquid, add more curd or mascarpone to taste. Whip cream with cream stiffener according to package instructions and fold in.

Chill the mixture until the muffins are baked and cooled. Fill the cream into a piping bag with a rose nozzle, take the muffin in one hand and pipe circles with the second hand.

Decorate the ballerina cupcakes with sugar pearls and finally insert the decorative sticks.

Preparation Tip:

It is best to use ripe, aromatic strawberries for the topping. Then the Ballerina Cupcakes taste twice as good.
