Dirty Girl Scout Cupcakes

Dirty Girl Scout Cupcakes

A dirty girl scout is, of course, a shot consisting of Vodka, Kahlua, Creme de Menthe and Irish Cream.  The cupcake version features a mocha cupcake filled with mint-chocolate ganache topped off with Irish Cream Frosting.  The cupcakes won't get you liquored up but they do taste mighty good!

These were inspired by Smitten Kitchen's Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes.

Title reminds me of something else that runs through my mind on occasion:
I was kicked out of the boy scouts for eating a brownie.

I made these, as I have made the Irish Car Bomb cakes before and LOVE them. Though to change things up a bit I made a variation on the chocolate mint filling by using a Jell-O dark chocolate mousse made with 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup Creme de Menthe liquor......Make the mousse and refrigerate it in Zip-Lok bag to 'set' it, then do the cupcakes, hollow them out and squirt the mousse inside the cupcake. Then frost with the Irish Cream Frosting....OMG, the most DELICIOUS little guilty pleasure of a treat!!!

Why Sour cream?!?!? I would've like to try it otherwise..... :(
Is there anything that could be substituted?

Sour cream is not unusual in baking. It makes the batter moist and creamy. If you have a particular aversion to sour cream, that's one thing. But if you just have never tried it in baking, give it a go. It's really yummy. Plain yogurt does the same thing - you can sub the yogurt for the sour cream.

These look great! There's also this 'ible (similar to the Smitten Kitchen recipe).
