LEMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C/425F degrees. Butter 12 muffin cups or line them with liner papers.
• In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix in the sugar and lemon zest.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the yogurt, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla extract just until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix. The batter should be thick and lumpy. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups (almost all the way to the top). Bake for 3 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F and continue to bake for an additional 12-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl sift the powdered sugar. Add lemon juice until you achieve desired consistency (pourable consistency).
• When the muffins are cooled, pour the drizzle over the muffins.
• Muffins are best the same day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or they can be frozen for up to 2 months.

• Crush the remaining 4 vanilla sandwich cookies into chunks. Mix the softened ice cream with the crushed vanilla cookies and sprinkles in a bowl. Spoon into the cupcake liners.
• For the toppings: Press the rainbow sprinkles and chocolate shavings into the top of each cup. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Remove the confetti cups from the muffin pan (leaving on the cupcake liners) and place in a single layer in resealable bags or other airtight containers.
