These cupcakes remind me of that old song lyric, "Make new friends, but keep the old." I've got my old friend cake and my new pal chia pudding. I like them both, and I thought it was time to bring them together. I personally love salted coconut frosting and could stand to make this one even saltier. Play around with the salt to suit your buds, just make sure to get it right before you let the pudding set in the fridge, as it will be hard to stir it after that.
Because this frosting must be refrigerated, these are a little tricky to store and are best eaten freshly made. If you're taking them to a party, I suggest adding the frosting right before you head out or, even better, when you arrive. If these are just for you at home, keep the frosting refrigerated until you're ready for a cupcake and then add it.
