Today we are making fabulous cupcakes that are just in time for picnic season. A special kinda cupcake that's wonderfully yummy, but won't leave your fingers all messy with frosting.
Cheesecake Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 pkg chocolate cake mix (and ingredients listed on box to make it)
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup chocolate (or other flavored) chips
Directions:
Mix cake as directions on box state and fill 30 paper baking cups in muffin tins 2/3 full...as the hmmmschooler and Lego Pikachu so kindly demonstrate above.
Next, cream together the cream cheese, sugar and egg. Stir in whatever chips you have chosen to use. In our case it was...
...the almighty peanut butter chip.
Drop this cream cheesy mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the cupcakes.
Bake these at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.
You can eat them straight out of the oven (don't ask me how I know), but Hmmmschooler Ooky and his Lego Pikachu would like to inform you they taste even better when they are allowed to cool and the cheesecake part sets up completely.
Hmmmschooler Ooky and his Lego Pikachu dare you to eat one. And only one.
Yum! It's great to have a hmmmschooler who loves to bake!

ReplyDeleteThey look so easy to make, that's my kinda baking : ) Where did you get the recipe? I'm looking for a cookbook to use with my daughter.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I should have said where I got the recipe (although its not a widely available cookbook): Central Minnesota's Spring and Summer Cookbook (put out by the local newspaper. :) Good luck in finding a good cookbook to use with your daughter! We really like the book Pretend Soup by Mollie Katzen and the other books that come along with it. :)
