Happy Tuesday! Thank you for your kind words yesterday they were very much appreciated.
Since the best way to cheer yourself is with chocolate I thought I would share a sweet treat with you today.
Over the weekend we celebrated my aunts birthday, I wanted to make her something different. I thought about making her a cake, ice cream sandwiches or cookies. Then I realized I could make cupcakes and add ice cream and have ice cream cake cupcakes.
They were a great treat, easy to make and delicious!
Ice Cream Cake Cupcakes
Ingredients
1 box cake of choice (I used Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge mix)
Follow box directions for ingredients
1 cartoon of ice cream of choice (my aunts favorite it coffee so that is what I used)
Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.) Prepare cupcake tins by placing cupcake liners in your pan.
3.) Prepare cake according to box directions. Drop about a tbs of cake pix into the liners (if you like it more cakey then ice cream add more, or if you have a heavy hand like me, I had to scrape some cake off)
4.) Bake for about 10 minutes, keeping a close eye
5.) Once the cupcakes are out of the oven top them with ice cream of choice as well as toppings of choice, I would definitely do sprinkles next time!
6.) Place in freezer until ready to serve.

I wouldn’t have judged you if you did
So easy, and I’ll be honest, ice cream cakes are always a little much for me, but this is just the right size, shape, and easy to eat before they melt! Top notch idea.

my thoughts exactly, ice cream cakes don’t really do it for me but oh boy these sure do!
