Neapolitan Dynamite Cupcakes!

Valentines Day has come and gone and I was more than happy to spend it at home with my family. Who needs a significant other to enjoy Valentines Day anyways? Of course holidays, to me, are excuses to bake and I took that opportunity to finally start my Ben and Jerry’s themed cupcakes. You see, a few months ago I went through the list of ice cream on the Ben and Jerry’s website and made up cupcakes for all of the ones that sounded good to me. With Valentines Day approaching I looked back over that list and saw one that had Valentines like colors. Neapolitan Dynamite! How perfect!
Neapolitan Dynamite ice cream consists of Cherry Garcia (cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge flakes) and Chocolate Fudge Brownie (chocolate ice cream with fudge brownies) ice creams, side by side. I decided to replicate this by making a cupcake that was half cherry and half chocolate, filled with cherry chocolate ganache, and topped with some sort of cherry frosting. In the final moments I actually forgot to mix the cherry preserves into the chocolate ganache, but it was fine anyway.
