  Using an apple corer or paring knife, make holes in center of cupcake...this filling is so good you may want to double hole size. lol Place filling into a Icing bag or quart size freezer bag and snip 1/4" hole at corner, fill cupcakes right out the top...at this point I take my cupcakes to the freezer for 30-60 minutes to firm up the filling before topping with warm ganache.
