Difficutly: very easy
Time: 5 Min
Portion: 1 serving
Ingredients:
Makes about 10 ice cream cupcakes (depending on the size of your waffle bowl)
INGREDIENTS
For chocolate cupcakes
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temp
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temp
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoons vanilla
For whipped cream
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp granulated sugar
store bought caramel ice cream topping
Ben & Jerry’s triple caramel chunk ice cream
sprinkles
maraschino cherries
waffle bowls
Directions:
To make cupcakes—
Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
Beat butter until softened. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined.
Measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder into a small sized bowl and whisk to combine. Measure out the milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
Add about a third of the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar and beat to combine. Add about a half of the milk/vanilla and beat to combine. Continue adding, alternating between dry and wet and finishing with the dry.
Scoop batter into waffle bowls about 1/4 full. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake cupcakes for about 20-22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Cool completely and chill in freezer while preparing whipped cream.
[NOTES: I didn\’t take into account that the waffle bowl would flatten out in the oven heat so if you want it to retain its shape better you can bake the waffle-cupcake in oven safe bowls but I personally think the flared out bowls are a fun \”mistake\”!]
To make whipped cream—
In mixer with whisk attachment, whip the cream, vanilla extract and sugar on high speed until thick.
To assemble cupcakes–
Take cupcakes out of freezer and scoop ice cream on top of the cupcake. Drizzle with caramel and pipe (or dollop) whipped cream with a 1M tip on top of ice cream. Garnish with sprinkles and cherry.
Serve immediately.
