Step 7

Once the cupcakes have completely cooled use a knife to cut a hole out of the center, you want it to be fairly deep but not all the way to the bottom. You basically just want the top part left to cover the ducle de leche filling.

Place dulce de leche in a piping bag with no tip or a medium round tip to easily fill the holes of the cupcakes, then place the "lid" piece of the cupcake back on top.
