This churro cupcake is topped with a standard keto cream cheese frosting but you will never ever guess whats sprinkled on top! Pork rind breadcrumbs! YES, PORK RINDS ON A CUPCAKE. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It really gives it that subtle crunch like real churro dust would. It’s perfect!
I gave my friend one, just now, who’s a total foodie (not on keto) and he said it was delicious and reminded him of carrot cake (probably because of the cream cheese frosting) When I told him the churro dust made of pork rinds he didn’t believe me at all!
