Chocolate Chipotle Lime Cupcakes

i was looking for a savory kind of dessert and stumbled across this recipe.  i changed it quite a bit from what the original one is(the original is a vegan one from http://cupquake-atlanta.blogspot.com/2008/08/iron-cupcakeearth-chili-pepper.html).

i changed mine up a bit, so here it goes:

Chocolate Chipotle Cupcake:

get a dark chocolate cake mix and mix it up like it says too then add either 3-4 Chipotles in Adobo Sauce or Chipotle Powder 3-4 tsp.  Make sure you taste the batter to make sure you can really taste the chipotle in it. Then cook it up like the box says, and then let cupcakes cool.

Lime Pudding Filling:
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup lime juice 
2 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 large instant vanilla pudding mix (the 5.1 oz one )
milk

Mix all the ingredients together except for the milk until creamy and smooth - about a minute or so. Then add enough milk to make the consistency of a pudding filling.  Put in fridge to keep cold for later.

Lime Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 ounces Cream Cheese
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
2-3 Cups Powdered sugar

Cream together cream cheese, lime juice and zest with an electric mixer. Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time and continue beating. If frosting is too thin add more confectioners sugar until proper consistency is reached.




Once the cupcakes have cooled, you can put the filling in the middle of them!  I used a ziplock baggie with a piping tip.  Just stick it in the middle of the cupcake and press the bag while lifting up.  Then you can ice them.
