Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe I used my favorite chocolate cream cheese frosting recipe on these cupcakes. 
Moses raised his staff and parted the Red Sea. The Kosher for Passover chocolate cupcakes began their journey to the promised land. Since they didn't have time to wait for bread to rise, the only food they brought along was - themselves.
If you're only going to have one dessert at your Passover table, don't make it a macaroon from a can, make it a flourless chocolate cupcake that is so good that you'd want to eat it even if it were not Passover.
I would highly recommend making these as mini-cupcakes. They are incredibly rich (they essentially taste like and have the consistency of chocolate fudge) and if there are any other desserts on the table, people will not be able to eat an entire cupcake.
The Kosher for Passover Chocolate Cupcake Recipe
I got the flourless chocolate cake recipe from Allrecipes. I am reprinting it here with my notes describing how to make it into cupcakes. 
Combine the water, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until completely dissolved and set aside.

Kosher for Passover Chocolate Cupcakes: Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
Stumble This Post
If you take your "kosher for Passover" to more serious levels than I, you will want to use kosher versions of all of these products. If you are of the mindset that chocolate doesn't rise so it's kosher for Passover, then just go for the best ingredients you can find. The quality of the chocolate really matters in this recipe since it's all about the chocolate.
Makes 18 cupcakes

These look so good! I may just have to whip up a batch before next weekend.... :)
Thank god you did these. Have I described to you by intense hatred of macaroons?
oooo, they look awesome! So chocolatey and then topped off with chocolate cream cheese icing!
Dagnabbit~ you beat me to flourless chocolate cake. I have it totally earmarked for my good chocolate. This is what I get for procrastinating. Sounds incredibly good with the chocolate cream cheese frosting. YUM.
What little kid did you steal the Moses action figure from?
You put a hot muffin tin in the refrigerator? Didnt that raise the overall temperature of your fridge and put it in the danger zone?
I am definitely trying this recipe - thanks!
Maxine - If you like heavy fudgey chocolate, this is a winner. It's delish!
Naomi - You have not.
Gigi - Thanks so much!
TW - You can make you own version of it! Give it the TW pizazz. I got the action figure from Stupid.com. Yes, I actually ordered it special for this photo.
Mr D. I should probably have clarified that it wasn't piping hot when I put it in the fridge. I waited a few minutes. It did probably raise the temperature of my fridge a bit, but not much as far as I could tell.
Michelle - Good luck. Hope you like it!
Stef, those cupcakes must be real good because Moses looks very protective of them!
Thanks for posting this - it's now officially on my list of baking for next week :)
Hi, I was just wondering if the yield was 18 mini or regular sized cupcakes? Also what % of bittersweet choc and what kind did you use? Thanks!!
Sweet chocolately goodness - these were the best cupcakes I've ever had in my life!!!!! We (and by we I mean Dan) will be making this recipe in the near future.
Alana - The yield was for regular sized cupcakes. As for the type of chocolate, use whatever you like best. I actually used a mix of what I had leftover in my pantry: some ghirardelli, some green and black, and some callebaut. There were all different percents. If you like the flavor of our chocolate, you should like the cupcake.
Karen - Yay! I'm so glad you liked them.
great pic, and good idea - what a creative way to stay kosher!
What a cool idea. I just made flourless chocolate peanut butter cookies last week, but it's never occurred to me to make flourless cupcakes! I didn't think it was possible! Thanks for sharing, this is an exciting discovery :D.
I'm confused on how you can call these cupcakes Kosher for Passover when you use cream cheese in the icing. Although cream cheese is kosher by itself, you cannot eat it if you are eating meat. Because almost all families will be eating meat at a Pesach seder, these cupcakes would have no place at the table.
Anonymous - if you make these cupcakes with K-P cream cheese and other ingredients, as you suggested, then these are definitely kosher for Passover. If there were meat in the cupcakes themselves, then I'd agree that these were not kosher for Passover. As they stand now, you could make them and serve them with any non-meat meal!
Wheeler - Thanks so much!
Sophie - There are all kinds of flourless possibilities. The cookies sound good!
Anon - Sorry for the confusion. As J pointed out, they are certainly Kosher for Passover with a non-meat meal. My family is not strictly kosher so we do eat milk and meat at the same meal. However, obviously if you do not, you could have these with a dairy lunch. Sorry for not thinking about that before.
I noticed that you cut the time for baking down from Allrecipes by 15 minutes to do cupcakes instead of a single cake. How much would you recommend to cut baking time down for minis? And would this work in a silicone mini pan? Or would that pan be too porous for the water bath?
Ms B - I think the silicone should work. I'm not quite sure about the cooking time. I'd guess it would take 15-20 minutes.
Has anyone ever tried this recipe with carob instead of chocolate? There is a company I know of called Holy Food Imports which makes an excellent carob spread and in my opinion, to me, it is similar to chocolate.
