    Pineberry Muffins

    Muffin or a Cupcake?

    My Pineberry Muffins with Mascarpone Whipped Frosting are slightly more dense than a cupcake with a delightful tender crumb; the perfect cross between a muffin and a cupcake. The flavor and texture of this unique dessert is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

    What's a Pineberry?

    A ripe pineberry will have a beautiful pink, blush color and bright red seeds. Like all berries, pineberries do not ripen after they are picked, so harvesters are trained to carefully select them at peak ripeness.

    Nuance of Flavor

    Pineberries are reminiscent of strawberries but with subtle nuances of pineapple, pear and apricot. Most compare the softer texture to that of a pear. Their unique flavor and pastel beauty are the perfect topper for my pineberry muffins.

    Perfect Pairings

    The tart-sweet flavor of fresh pineberry and lemon zest are the perfect pairing with mascarpone whipped frosting. The beautiful sheen and texture of sugared pineberries enhance the sweetness and beauty of this stunning dessert.

    Heath Benefits of Pineberry

    Pineberries are very similar to red strawberries when it comes to nutrition. Meaning that like many berries, they are a superfood! Not only are pineberries a filling, low calorie food, they are also a good source of folic acid, phosphorus, and vitamin C. Wish Farms Pink-A-Boo® Pineberries are naturally grown and non-GMO.
