With summer coming to a screeching halt, I thought I should squeeze in one more ice cream related recipe for you. If you’re like us and live in a place like Houston (or the desert I guess) you could be enjoying these babies up until Christmas morning, I’ll leave that up to you. Either way, these chocolate cupped ice cream cupcakes are surprisingly simpler to make than their title, and they will surely leave your guests licking their lips (and possibly twirling around the room until the sugar high wears off). If you’re into healthier means, you can always modify this recipe to your skinny alternatives. Here we go-
To make 12 cupcakes:
- Silicon cupcake molds
- Chocolate for melting – approx. 32 oz.
- Icing of your choice – approx. 24 oz.
- Ice cream of your choice – approx. 1.5 quarts
- Spray oil
- Sprinkles
To make the chocolate liners: lightly coat the insides of the silicone cupcake molds with spray oil. Next, melt the chocolate and spread a thin layer over the inside of each mold. let them cool completely for about 30 minutes, and then coat with another layer of chocolate. Let the second coat cool for an hour.
Releasing the chocolate from the molds is a little tricky. Start by gently pulling the silicon back from the very rim all the way around the mold. Once the top is released, the bottom sort of pops out. The thicker the chocolate, the easier it is to take them out. Don’t worry if the top chips, you’ll never notice once you add the icing.
To finish your cupcakes, scoop your favorite ice cream into each chocolate liner, and then let them sit in the freezer for a bit.
Once they’re nice and chilled, top with frosting and sprinkles, and you’re all set!
These are so fun! I showed the pic to my husband, and got a ‘Those look awesome!’ from him :)
