Notes
*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g to the measurement for each cup of flour.
Substitutions:
- You can use unsalted butter instead of vegetable shortening.
- Store-bought ice cream can be used as the filling.
- You can also use store-bought whipped cream!
- We found that using rainbow jimmies work the best in the cupcake batter, as the color doesn't bleed.
- Be careful to not over-mix the cupcake batter!
- We recommend using a large cookie scoop to ensure that each cupcake is equal in size.
- If you're unsure the cupcakes are baked, you can use a cake tester or tooth pick. If it comes clean, the cupcake is baked through!
- Let the cupcakes cool COMPLETELY before coring and filling them.
- If left out of the freezer too long, the ice cream will melt into the cupcake. You need to keep the cupcakes in the freezer as soon as their filled!
- Depending on how much you core the cupcakes, you may need more ice cream to fill them!
- Be sure to keep these cupcakes in the freezer until you're ready to eat them.
