The idea of calamansi cupcakes came about to me when I was reminiscing about my vacation to the Philippines in 2009. I was in Boracay with friends and I tried a calamansi muffin at a small cafe called Real Coffee and it was delicious. Calamansi is a citrus fruit, kind of tastes like a combination of a lime and orange. I found this recipe and I just had to try it. Yummy. I used a homemade cream cheese frosting instead of the one on the recipe.
I love calamansi!!!
ReplyDeleteI am surprized that not too many ppl know about calamansi. I tried a dessert last year. I think it was a creme brule type or pastry filled with calamansi!
I believe this fruit is grown in Asia and very popular in the Philippines. Try squeezing calamansi into hot water, very tasty. You can find this fruit in the frozen section of your local Asian supermarket.
