Margarita Cupcake

For the Cupcakes:

Prepare as the box directs, and then add 1 cup of shredded coconut to the batter before pouring it into muffin tins. I fill cups with a 1/4 cup measuring cup, and this usually fills about 18 cups.

For the Lime Filling

Pour the box of pudding mix into a bowl, add whipping cream and beat for 2 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, and place in fridge to chill.

Hollow a cone out of the top of each cupcake, and add filling inside. Replace cupcake ‘lid’ back over the filling.

*I found this recipe for this filling from Tasty Kitchen contributer, Hoosier Homemade

For the White Chocolate and Lime Icing

Melt chocolate (using the microwave, in 30 minute bursts, stirring between each burst to make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn), and set it aside to cool a little.

While chocolate is cooling, mix the rest of the ingredients. Add chocolate until just combined.

Ice cupcakes and garnish with lime slices, sprinkles, etc.

This is really a very easy cupcake to put together, I just tagged it as intermediate because there are several steps, and the melted chocolate in the icing requires a bit more concentration, a bit…
