Directions

  1. 1

    Line recesses of the muffin tray with paper baking cups. Preheat the oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Wash the lemon, dab dry and grate half of the peel.

  2. 2

    Whisk butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and 1 pinch of salt with the whisks of the mixer until thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Stir in the eggs. Mix flour and baking powder. Stir yoghurt briefly into the butter mixture. Spread the dough evenly over the hollows of the muffin tray. Bake in a hot oven for 18-20 minutes. (Not too long!) Take out of the oven and let it cool down.

  4. 4

    Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthwise with a kitchen knife. Scratch out the pulp with the back of the knife. Cream vanilla pulp, cream cheese, milk and icing sugar with the whisk of the mixer.

  5. 5

    Fill the cream cheese freezing in a piping bag with star-shaped spout. Place 1 marshmallow on each muffin and spray the frosting onto the muffins in a circle. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
