Ondeh Ondeh Cupcakes (Little Thumbs Up October 2015 : Coconut)

I happen to see this challenge going on hosted by Jess from Bakericious for the event Little Thumbs Up. And so happens there is 2 recipes which I have seen online that I really want to try and so happens one of the ingredient aligned with the topic of the Month of October: Coconut. Haha...so many "so happens" !
I have a savory and a sweet recipe to share and for this post, I am going to start with the sweet one - Ondeh Ondeh Cupcakes with Gula Melaka Frosting. (Adapted from: http://sharmeee.com/2014/08/24/ondeh-ondeh-cupcakes/) I did change the frosting from the original recipe as I prefer the frosting infused with Pandan =) And I added a bunch of pandan leaves during the prep for the fillings to make it more fragrant. I followed mainly the recipe by Sharmee but I will list what I tweaked to suit my family taste better.

Ingredients:

Pandan Cupcakes:
Sugar content -  reduced to 1/2 cup

Pandan Whipped Cream:

1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. Pandan juice
1 tsp gelatine + 3 tsp boiling water

1/2 cup of desiccated coconut for topping instead of stirring into the cream.
I added a little pandan juice to give it a little colour..

This is my first time entering any online events and I am really excited and happy to share and come to know more experienced bakers out there who are willing to share their bakes and cooks. Really thanks to Zoe, Doreen and Jess for making this happen =)

This post is linked to the event Little Thumbs Up (October 2015 : Coconut) organised by Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids and Doreen of My Little Favourite DIY, and hosted by Jess from Bakericious.
