Preparation 

Raspberry Coulis 

• In a nonstick pot, add your ½ cup of water, 2 cups of raspberries, 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of Raspberry Crescendo Precision syrup, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp of pectin. Simmer on medium  until coulis thickens, stirring frequently. 

• Take your coulis off the heat, then proceed to strain your coulis through a strainer. Press with a rubber spatula, this will help your coulis separate from the seeds. 

• Place your coulis in the refrigerator until chilly 

Cupcake Batter

1. Preheat oven to 350°F

2. For your batter: in a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients. Combine well. 

3. In another mixing bowl, add all of your wet ingredients. Combine well. 

4. Mix your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients.  Combine well. 

5. Batter should be thin enough to pour into your cupcake liners. (Make sure cupcake pan is prepped with liners) 

6. Pour batter evenly into the cupcake liners. Let them bake for 15-17 minutes. 

As your cupcakes bake, start on your frosting. 

Raspberry Crescendo Buttercream Frosting

1. In a stand mixer (or hand mixer and bowl) Whip your 4 sticks of unsalted butter until it has doubled in size and lightened in color. 

2. Scrape the bowl down, and add 1 cup of shortening. Whip until completely combined 

3. In a bowl, take your 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk,  ¼ cup of Raspberry Precision Crescendo Syrup, and 1 Tsp of raspberry extract. Combine 

4. On a medium speed using your mixer, slowly pour your sweetened condensed syrup mixture into your whipped butter. Whip until combined, frequently scraping your bowl down. 

5. Turn off your mixer, scrape once more. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Turn your mixer on low until combined. 

6. Your frosting should look silky smooth and stable for piping. Keep frosting in a cool area. (not the fridge) 

When the cupcakes are done, let them cool. Once cooled, poke a hole in the center of each one, not exceeding the bottom. Now you are ready to fill and frost your cupcakes however you desire! Have fun!
