JELLO SHOT CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• CUPCAKES: Prepare cake batter and bake as directed per box for cupcakes. Fill cupcake liners about 1/2 to 2/3 full and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and poke holes in the cupcakes with a fork or toothpick. In a separate bowl, stir boiling water into jello powder until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add rum. Spoon over cupcakes. (Don't be shy with the jello. Be generous! 2, 3 to 4 spoonfuls!) Let cool before frosting with whipped cream. WHIPPED CREAM: Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk together on low until stiff peaks are formed. Change to medium speed and whisk until thick. GARNISH: Make jello per package instructions for each flavor. After chilling for 4 hours (or overnight), cut them into small blocks. Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13-inch pan. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms (thickens), add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight. Cut into blocks and garnish on top of cupcakes.

EGGNOG CUPCAKES WITH WHIPPED EGGNOG BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
• Stir flour, sugar, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together for cupcakes in a medium bowl. Beat 1/2 cup butter in a large bowl until creamy, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture all at once and beat until mixture is crumbly.
• Add eggs; beat about 30 seconds. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl well and beat until light in color and a bit fluffy, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl again. Gently beat in eggnog just until combined and batter is silky and smooth. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops of cupcakes spring back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk sugar and flour for frosting in a 2-quart saucepan. Whisk in eggnog and nutmeg until no lumps remain. Turn heat to medium and heat, beating with the whisk until mixture comes to a low boil and thickens enough to coat a spoon. Remove from the heat and scrape mixture into a bowl. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Beat butter and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Pour in the cooled eggnog mixture, beating until light and creamy. If frosting looks curdled or separated, keep beating. It will come together after a few minutes.
• Spread or pipe frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

SNOW TUNNEL CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake the cake as directed on the package. Allow to cool. Remove from pan. Slice a 1 inch layer off the top. Gently hollow out a trench about 1 1/2 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Tear the removed cake into small pieces and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine milk and pudding mix. Beat on low for 2 minutes. Fold cake pieces and 1 3/4 cups of whipped topping into pudding. Fill trench with pudding mixture. Replace top of cake. Spread remaining whipped topping over top and sides of cake.

ORANGE DREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Mix Cake mix, soda and egg whites together.
• Pour batter into a 9 X 13 inch pan.
• Bake as directed on box.
• When done, use a meat fork to poke holes across the top of the entire cake.
• Allow cake to cool.
• In a medium bowl, mix together 1 box of the orange gelatin, 1 cup hot water and 1 cup cold water.
• Pour gelatin mixture over top of cake.
• Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining box of jello, vanilla pudding mix, nonfat milk, and vanilla together. Beat well.
• Fold whipped topping into this mixture, and spread on top of cake.
• Chill in refrigerator until serving.

BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE JELLO SHOT

Steps:

• Lightly spray the mold with non-stick spray and wipe excess off with a paper towel. Don't overdo it or the residue will affect the taste of the jello.
• Pour the soda, juice, and cream into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top.
• Allow the gelatin to soak for 2-3 minutes, then begin to heat on low, stirring constantly until gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes).
• Remove saucepan from heat and add vodka and food coloring (if using).
• Pour into molds and chill for several hours (at least 4) or overnight, until set. Amazon sells a silicone 30-cavity peanut butter cup mold that works well for this.
• Remove from mold, top with whipped cream and sprinkles, and enjoy responsibly!
