I don't know about you but we are REALLY looking forward to summer coming to Utah! One of my favorite memories of summer is Orange Creamsicles. I mean, what's better than a popsicle with ice cream in the middle?! My mom would buy them each summer and boy were we happy campers.
Well, it's not quite warm enough for popsicles here but I came up with a really yummy and simple way to make Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes. They taste as yummy as they look!
Here's what you need:
White cake mix
3 eggs
1 C. water
1/3 C. oil
1 1/2 tsp. orange extract
zest from 1 orange
Mix all ingredients together and bake cupcakes. Let cool completely.
For the frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1 stick butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 C. powdered sugar
8 oz. whipped cream
Cream the cream cheese and butter together. Add vanilla and powdered sugar. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
Now the fun part. Cut off the top of each cupcake
Place your frosting in a piping bag, fill the center hole in the cupcake
Pipe more frosting over the rest of the cupcake
Place the top back on the cupcake
There you have it! Delicious Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes. The frosting is addictive so be careful!
These cupcakes are kid approved!
