• ¾ cup milk

Instructions

Fo the cupcakes

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Alternate adding the milk and dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Mix each addition only until just combined.
3. Fill the cupcake liners to ⅔ of the way. Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool cupcakes on a cooling rack.

For the filling:

1. Combine the puree, sugar, and lime juice in a pot and heat it over medium heat until it bubbles.
2. Add the corn starch and water mixture a little at a time while stirring.
3. Once the mixture thickens, remove the filling from the heat and transfer to another bowl to cool.

For the frosting:

1. Whip the butter cubes in an electric mixer on medium speed for about 5 minutes. Stop in the middle to scrape down the sides.
2. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sugar. Add the vanilla and whip again on medium speed for 3 minutes, stopping once to scrape down the sides.

For the assembly:

1. Using a small paring knife, cut out the center of each cupcake at about a 45 degree angle so that you have cut out a cone shape.
2. Add the filling into the hole using a spoon or pastry bag.Remove the bottom part of the cone and replace the top on the cupcake.
3. To create a two tone effect frosting, apply food coloring to the inside of a pastry bag using a paint brush. Then, carefully drop the buttercream to the bag. Pipe on the buttercream.
