My friend Tina introduced a similar cupcake to these. She brought these cupcakes to a savory tea party, and they were a hit. I know what you could be thinking, that’s a crazy combination. This bacon beer and cheese cupcakes are not too sweet, but the beer and the brown sugar combine with salty and savory bacon to take your cupcakes in a completely different level.
For this competition, one of our secret ingredients was Jarlsberg cheese. We combined this recipe with a darker beer than the original recipe. I thought that this combination was heavenly. If you make this recipe I would urge you to go with a darker beer, beers I would try would be something like Shinerbock, an Oktoberfest, or even a Marzen.

Instructions
Cupcake directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook bacon until crispy, then remove from oven and finely chop. Coat a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray. Heat beer and butter in a large saucepan on medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add Jarlsberg and cheddar. Remove from heat, and whisk in the sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream with the egg.
- Mix the sour cream mixture into the beer mixture. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Fold flour mixture into the batter. Stir in 1/2 cup of finely chopped bacon. Fill cups in prepared tin almost full. Bake for 12 minutes, or until an inserted cake tester comes out clean.
Frosting directions
- Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Sift powder sugar in a sifter before slowly mixing in powdered sugar into the butter and cream cheese. Spread onto cooled cupcakes, then garnish with finely grated Jarlsberg and cheddar, and chopped bacon.
why is my cheese not melting? its a lumpy mushy mess in the beer and butter mixture
Did you happen to use cheese that was pre-grated?
Any recommendations for making these in full sized muffin tins?
