Coconut Christmas Cupcakes
We are 6 days away from christmas, so i made these lovely Coconut Christmas Cupcakes with white chocolate ganache for topping and they were turned so delicious and tasty, and they were loved by my kids.
I used two types of coconut to make my recipe, the shredded coconut and the coconut flakes, but you can use the shredded coconut to decorate and make the cupcakes. I believe this recipe is so easy to make with simple ingredients. For decoration you can use melted white chocolate, or melted green candy to draw the christmas tree. Use salted sticks, also you can make it with chocolate sticks.
