Peach Muffins with Mascarpone and White Chocolate Frosting

In the previous recipe I used some pickled peaches but since it wasn't all I had in the jar (thank you, cousin Eva for these home-made pieces of heaven) I decided to use the rest for some muffins. And by that I mean cupcakes because I also had mascarpone left and decided to cover them.

Ingredients (15 muffins):

• 2 eggs
• 120ml sunflower oil
• 250ml milk
• 200g sugar
• 400g flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• pinch of salt
• handful of chopped pickled peaches

•  250g mascarpone
• 100g melted white chocolate
• 2 table spoons syrup from the pickled peaches
• about 3 big slices of pickled peaches finely chopped

1) Mix all the wet ingredients (save the peaches) and then start adding the dry ones. When the batter is nicely mixed, add the peaches.

2) Distribute evenly into the muffin cups - fill just 3/4 of the cups, they will rise.

3) Bake for about 25 minutes at 180°C.

4) Melt the chocolate and wait for it to cool down a little, then pour it over the mascarpone and add the syrup. Mix thoroughly and when it's nice and smooth, add the little pieces of peaches. 

5) Once the muffins are cooled down, you can decorate them with the mascarpone frosting.
