Although I still hope to find fresh Oklahoma peaches for an Oklahoma Fresh Peach Pie for the Fourth, I did manage to locate out-of-state peaches that were fragrant and not hard as rocks to use in Fresh Peach Streusel Muffins for a customer. I had a couple of peaches left over, so I decided to try peach puree in place of the strawberry puree in these strawberry cupcakes. I added a ripe mango and ended up with about a cup of puree. The resulting cupcakes were not overly peach-flavored, but they were moist and luscious even without frosting.
But the frosting was wonderful!
I used one stick of softened salted butter, about 3/4 cup of yogurt cheese from Oklahoma's Wagon Creek Creamery, one-fourth to one-third cup of the peach-mango puree, and 5 to 6 cups of powdered sugar. The result was creamy, tangy, and tasted delicately of peach and mango. The consistency was a bit soft to pipe, so I just spread it with a knife.
I found some Fourth of July-themed cupcake liners at Hobby Lobby.
Mom and I shared one; she ate her half with a fork because it was so falling-apart good.

Gosh, this looks so moist and good. The frosting sounds fabulous! I just admire how you aren't afraid to try new ideas. You are awesome!

HoneyB, they smelled pretty darn good. :)
Katy, it's true I'm not afraid, but I sure make a lot of mistakes. But then I get to eat them. ;)
I love that you changed the puree. I guess any fruit could be used. Your photo makes me drool.
Love your blog.
There is an award waiting for you on my blog.
