Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Bake: 15 min.
YIELD: 2 dozen.
I created this recipe based on our family's love of chocolate-dipped ice cream cones. Red heart-shaped sprinkles make them fun for Valentine's Day. Vary the color to match the occasion. —Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan
Ingredients
-
1 package French vanilla or yellow cake mix (regular size)
-
24 ice cream cake cones (about 3 inches tall)
-
FROSTING:
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1/2 cup shortening
-
6 cups confectioners' sugar
-
1/4 cup 2% milk
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
GLAZE:
-
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
-
1/4 cup shortening
-
Colored sprinkles
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 24 mini-muffin cups. Stand ice cream cones in additional mini-muffin cups.
-
2.
Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions. Fill each greased muffin cup with 1 tablespoon batter. Divide remaining batter among ice cream cones (scant 2 tablespoons each).
-
3.
Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Transfer both plain and cone cupcakes to wire racks; cool completely.
-
4.
For frosting, beat butter and shortening until blended. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form.
-
5.
To assemble, spread a small amount of frosting on bottom of each plain cupcake; attach to top of a cone cupcake. Spread remaining frosting over top cupcakes, rounding tops to resemble a scoop of ice cream. Freeze until frosting is firm, 5-10 minutes.
-
6.
For glaze, in a large metal bowl over simmering water, melt chocolate and shortening, stirring until smooth. Dip tops of cones in chocolate mixture. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.
