Cherry Muffins
Description
The recipe won't take much time. These delicate and beautiful cupcakes can confidently be served at a festive table or simply used to surprise your loved ones! The cupcakes turn out vibrant thanks to red food coloring. You can use powdered coloring (dissolved in a small amount of water) or gel coloring. The finished cupcakes are filled with a cherry filling, which I suggest making from cherry compote. They are decorated with whipped ice cream, which can be substituted with whipped cream. Serve chilled.
