Begin by making the chocolate ganache since it must set.
In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Heat on High in 45 second intervals mixing in between. Should take 2-3 intervals and once it’s fully melted together and silky, set aside to cool for about 2-3 hours until it’s thickened
Cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
In a small microwave safe bowl, add the shortening and microwave for two 20 second intervals mixing in between until melted and allow it to cool down for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl combine buttermilk, coffee, melted vegetable shortening, sugar, pumpkin puree, egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Fill cupcake liners 2/3 of the way.
Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
Decorate:
Using a piping bag and a round piping tip, pipe ganache swirls on the cupcake.
Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top carefully shaving the side of the milk chocolate bar with a peeler. Enjoy!
