Spring Filled Cupcakes



So my mom got me this cup cake corer and I have been really excited to use it. I decided to fill the cupcakes with pudding because I did not want too much icing. I also have been excited to try Kraft’s new Cool Whip frosting (even thought I don’t like cool whip frosting).  

Ingredients

Cake

1 cake Mix
3 eggs
1 cup of water
5 1/3 tablespoons of butter

Pudding
Instant pudding mix (I used vanilla)
2 cups of milk

1 tub Cool whip icing (I used chocolate)

Food coloring
Sprinkles (optional)

Set out frozen icing about an hour before you use it or stick it on the stove ( if you forgot to take it out) while the oven is on to defrosted it.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line cupcake pan with liners.





Mix eggs, water, and cake mix in a bowl for about two minutes at a medium speed. I did this by hand because I don’t have a mixer at school. For spring I decided to dye the batter pink.




 Fill cupcake pans a third to half way full and bake for about 19 minutes.




While cupcakes are baking mix pudding mix and milk in a bowl for two minutes with a whisk or a fork. Then dye green or yellow if the green doesn’t work and chill for at least five minutes.




 


Once cupcakes are done baking let them cool completely and use a cupcake corer to take the middle out.  I used the larger corer and pressed about half way down. Sometimes all the cake didn’t come out so I had to just pull it out. Next time I will use the smaller one because I like less filling but you might like more.


 




Take pudding out of the fridge and scoop into a baggy then cut of a corning like you would if you were making icing. Squirt the pudding into the cupcakes.





 



Then scoop icing into a baggy and cut the corner off and ice the cupcake. Make sure you cover the filling completely.







Sprinkle and enjoy but you need to keep the cupcakes in the fridge because of the pudding and icing. 


I made cake balls with the cupcake middles and leftover icing.

Girl Scout Cookie Parfaits




love
look at all the layers










It’s Girl Scout Cookie season. I decided to make parfaits with Caramel Delights or Samoas (depending on where you live) and Thin Mints.

Ingredients
Instant pudding (I used chocolate)
Cookies
2 cups Milk
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
½ teaspoon Vanilla
2 tablespoons Sugar
Miniature chocolate bar (optional)
Fruit (optional)

But a bowl and whisk or fork if you’re like me and live at school in freezer to chill.

In a medium or large bowl mix pudding and milk for two minutes with a whisk or fork. 

Chill for 5 minutes.

While pudding is chilling get bowl and whisk/fork from freezer and add cream, vanilla and sugar. Whisk until it is fluffy and stiff. This will take a while. Just keep at it and it will eventually fluff up and become whip cream. 

taste better then store bought
Then take out pudding and layer in a parfait bowl or a regular class bowl. Then layers with cookies (I broke the cookies up). Then with whip cream. After that you can start to layers again. You could also add a layer of fruit. Strawberries would have been really good.

To garnish the top I graded chocolate pieces using a  serrated butter knife and a mini Hersey bar.

Then it’s ready to serve and enjoy.
