Ingredients

For the Angel Food Cupcakes

  • 3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Cake flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 Large egg whites ,at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons Warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar

For the Cranberry Whip

  • 1 ,3 ounce package Cranberry jello gelatin
  • 2 Cup Heavy Cream ,whipped to medium peaks

Instructions

For the Angel Food Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare cupcake tins with liners and set aside. You should be able to fill about 18-24 tins.
  • In a food processor, pulse sugar until super fine, about 2 minutes (if you don't have a food processor caster sugar should also work).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, sift together half of the sugar, the cake flour and the salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, water, vanilla extract and cream of tartar until well combined, about 2 minutes. Switch to a hand mixer and whip mixture on medium speed while slowly adding remaining sugar to mixture.Continue mixing until medium peaks are formed.
  • Sift just enough of the flour mixture to evenly dust the top of the egg white mixture and use a spatula to gently fold flour into the egg white mixture. Continue until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated.
  • Divide batter among paper lined muffin tins. Fill each cup to nearly full. Bake in preheated oven 15-18 minutes until golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely then top with Cranberry Whip.

For the Cranberry Whip

  • Boil 1 cup of water in a medium sauce pan. Remove from heat and stir in 1 package of cranberry jello until completely dissolved. Place pan in a bowl filled with ice water to speed up cooling process. Once at room temperature place in fridge to slightly set the jello. **(Do not completely set) You just want the jello to begin to get thick and soupy. Check about every 15 minutes. Meantime whip your cream to form medium peaks.
  • Once jello is ready, mix into the whip cream. Place in fridge to chill about 15-20 minutes then place in piping bag with your tip of your choice attached and pipe onto cupcakes.
  • Decorate with sugared cranberries.
