Preparation

Step 1

Prepare cake mix as directed on box. Bake in cupcake tins. While cake is baking, prepare the Custard filling as follows:
Mix together pudding mix and the half and half. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the pudding mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. Fill a pastry bag and use a standard star tip for filling the cupcakes.

Step 3

When cupcakes have cooled completey, insert the tip of the pastry bag inside the center of the cupcake and slowly fill with custard, being careful not to overfill. It will hold more than you think, though.

Step 4

In a saucepan, prepare the Ganache by combining the 1 C heavy whipping cream and the corn syrup and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate, cover and let sit for about 8 minutes. Stir until smooth and add vanilla at this time. Once all blended and smooth let the ganache cool till tepid.

Step 5

Take each filled cupcake and dip the tops in the Ganache mixture. Place on a plate and refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
