I also added a teaspoon of coconut extract to the batter to give it an extra coconut boost! These are a great spring dessert and perfect for an Easter celebration! Oh and I picked up those adorable floral liners from the Dollar Tree! Read more for the raspberry filling recipe…

  • Add the cornstarch to the water and stir so it melts. Then add everything into a medium-size pot and bring to a boil until thickens.
  • Use a whisk to mix the berries up. Let it simmer for 15 minutes stirring often. Strain the mixture through a sieve.
  • Make a hole in the top of the cupcake and then fill with raspberry filling. Add 2 tablespoons of the berry sauce to the frosting. Do not stir! Just add it to the piping bag and pipe.
  • The frosting will come out with a nice raspberry swirl!
