Happy Valentines Day!

Love Love Love and Berry muffins is what it's all about!

Ingredients

150g frozen or fresh berries
100g caster sugar
100g butter
300g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
140ml milk


Icing

100g cream cheese
50g butter at room temperature
75g powdered sugar
few drops a vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of strawberry jam
Grated dark chocolate to sprinkle on top for decoration




Mix the butter and sugar until it is a fluffy and nearly creamy texture. Add one beaten egg at a time and mix well.
Then add the milk, vanilla extract then add the flour and the baking powder and mix until is it a think sort of sticky batter.
Add the berries and then spoon the batter into the muffin cases.
Place in the muffins in the 160C preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

For the icing mix the butter and cream cheese then add the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract.
Then to give it the pink colour add the strawberry jam.

Once the muffins have cooled down, dip them head down into the icing.
Then sprinkle the chocolate on the top.

If you want the heart shape on top - take some cardboard and cut out a heart. Cover the heart in kitchen foil. One side of the heart should be flat, and on the other side you can form a handle with the foil (this will make it easier to lift off the muffin).
