Lime Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes where really easy to make and tasted way good.



For the cupcakes:
Yellow cake mix's
Follow the instructions on the box. If you want you can put some lime zest in the batter. 
Well they cool start the ganache.

For ganache you will need:
5 oz heavy cream
1 oz corn syrup
8 oz finely chopped chocolate
Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a boil. When the cream is at a rolling boil, take it off the heat and pour it over the finely chopped chocolate in a bowl. Make sure the chocolate pieces are very small; otherwise, you'll find that the cream cools off before the chocolate is sufficiently melted. When you go to emulsify the mixture, it will be likely to separate and become gritty. 
Allow the cream and chocolate to rest for about 30 seconds without stirring the mixture. Once the chocolate has started to melt, whisk it in the center of the bowl. You whisk it starting in the center of the bowl and then slowly whisk in larger circles out toward the edge of the bowl to incorporate the entire mixture. Look for the mixture to become shiny and thick. 

When the cupcakes cool dip them in the ganache. Top the cupcakes with some whipped cream and lime zest. 

Hope you enjoy!
