Cupcakes with condensed milk and mascarpone cream

I don't even know what to call them more accurately - according to the technology of preparation they are cupcakes - whipped butter, delicate structure and "crown" cap of cream, but the taste is still more muffins, apparently the addition of berries slightly weighs down the dough. So I will call them simply - muffins! The recipe is very versatile - cranberries can be excluded or replaced with any other berries, nuts, candied fruits, etc. And the recipe for the cream is excellent - it is suitable for cakes and other pastries, it is impossible to spoil it, and the taste is magical, because everyone loves condensed milk. In general, it takes longer to write about them than to cook them, better go to the kitchen and see for yourself that it's delicious!
