I was invited for a dinner, a few days after I made that muffins on last post. Still being in muffins fever ^^, so I thought I’ll just made another muffins then. I still had some raspberries left, but it was not enough. So I made it this time with a filling and used the leftover raspberries only for the top of the muffins.

Mascarpone taste greats with honey, so I thought I tried cream cheese with honey instead of normal sugar. I don’t have any raspberry essence/emulco, so I put some mango essence in the batter and in the filling to see how it taste. Since there’s only so little raspberry, so I couldn’t really judge if it goes well together but as in the filling, somehow the mango essence tasted too artificial. Maybe one teaspoon is bit too much for so little filling.

Anyway I omited the usage of mango essence in the recipe below, since I wouldn’t made it that way again ^^.

February is really not my month,  I had problem with my laptop, camera, heater and even my window. Yes I’m talking about the kind of window which you buy drapes for ^^.

I baked this last two weekend for a friend of mine. I’ve been busy early this year, so we didn’t see each other at all for 2 months. So to make up for it, I invited her for a dinner at my place. I just made something simple, fried rice for main course and for dessert Raspberry Muffins.

I bought these fresh raspberry quite cheap even it was still snowing outside, well it’s the last package so I guess that’s explained it ^^. It’s almost over ripe, but good thing is, it’s quite sweet and only a tiny bit sour. I can’t really stand sour fruits anyway ^^.

I would definitely made this again when raspberries and blueberries are in season. I wonder if I could make it with sliced strawberry. Anyone tried that ?
