Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Fill cupcake pan with liners; set aside.
-
Make cupcakes: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix together first eight ingredients. Add in next four ingredients and beat on medium until well combined, about 2 minutes. Pour in 3/4 cup boiling water and beat until well combined. Fill liners 2/3 of the way. Bake until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
-
Make glass candy: Line a baking sheet with foil. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until mixture begins to boil. Stop boiling and clip candy thermometer to side of pan. Use a brush and water to wash down any crystals. Bring mixture to 300 degrees F, then pour hot candy mixture onto prepared pan. Set aside at least 1 hour, then break apart candy into shards.
-
Assemble: Pipe frosting onto cupcakes. Insert candy glass into center. Pipe red gel onto cupcakes for a blood drip finish.
Why this Blood Drip Cupcakes works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Blood Drip Cupcakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
