White Chocolate Cupcakes with Pistachio Pudding Frosting

White Chocolate Cupcakes with Pistachio Pudding Frosting www.cookingmimi.com This week’s #SundaySupper theme is Eat Your Greens and is hosted by The Foodie Stuntman. We’re celebrating all foods green today. I’m sharing a fantastic dessert perfect for spring: White Chocolate Cupcakes with Pistachio Pudding Frosting. I had originally planned on making this in cake form and posting it next month but when I found what today’s theme was I knew this recipe would be perfect. I did cupcakes because my niece and nephew were visiting and I know that cupcakes are much more fun to eat when you’re a kid. I baked mini cupcakes as well as regular sized ones because I didn’t want half eaten cupcakes with all the frosting licked off scattered around the kitchen.
