Patriotic Ice Cream Cupcakes Recipe

These red, white & blue cupcakes are perfect for your next Memorial Day or Fourth of July get-together. Red velvet cupcakes are layered with blue ice cream and frozen whipped cream topping—a festive way to turn cake and ice cream into a hand-held dessert!

Stage 1

Ingredients

1 package red velvet cake mix (regular size)

1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened

3 cups heavy whipping cream

1-1/2 cups marshmallow creme

Red, white and blue sprinkles

Blue colored sugar

Procedure

Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions for cupcakes.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups half full. Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Working quickly, spread ice cream over cupcakes. Freeze for at least 1 hour.

In a large bowl, combine cream and marshmallow creme; beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe over cupcakes; decorate with sprinkles and colored sugar. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
