Making cupcakes with ICE CREAM

[Mela99]

I had to share this recipe, oh holy crap.

Whenever I make a cake from a boxed mix, I've always used milk instead of water, and butter instead of oil. I was on Pinterest the other day and saw a suggestion that you use melted ice cream instead of milk.

I did. And there are NO WORDS. I used a carton of Graeter's coconut chocolate chip in a box of devil's food cake and it was UNBELIEVABLE. Moist and creamy tasting and the flavor was SO RICH. And the chocolate chips and coconut shreds.

You could do a million different flavors. I think white cake and cherry ice cream would rock. I might make those next. Or get some wild Ben and Jerry flavors and see what I can do.

Anybody else try this? What combos sound good?

This sounds so amazing! I'm considering rushing out to the store RIGHT NOW to get the ingredients. I can picture strawberry or raspberry ice cream tasting really good in a vanilla cake and adding white chocolate chunks to the mix before baking.

Awsome!!

And yes - you can use any cake/muffin recipe that calls for milk. I can't wait to hear how they turn out! I might make some more this weekend to send up to my sister at college. Maybe some Ben and Jerry ones.

Soo, muffins are baked, tested and stored :dance:

Lil´Nyms test result: "YAMYAMYAMYAM! :mrgreen:

The dough was a bit more sticky as usual and then they turned out so fluffy and creamy, it´s gonna be a keeper definitely!

I made vanilla-strawberry and white chocolate with lemon juice as topping:

Tomorrow at the bring-along, they will be a total hit at the Müsli-Mamies-pit :pray:
