Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cupcakes – layers of chocolate cake, mint chocolate chip ice cream, whipped topping and mini chocolate chips.

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cupcakes - Layers of chocolate cake, mint chocolate chip ice cream, whipped topping, and mini chocolate chips.

 

It’s been awhile since I shared a dessert with you, the marshmallow brownie bites for Valentine’s Day might have been the most recent. I think it’s time for another easy dessert idea, right?

As you can see, we love dessert in our household. I try
to limit how often we bake, but it’s hard to when we come up with fun
ideas like ice cream cupcakes. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day we decided to make mint chocolate chip ice cream cupcakes.
Mint chocolate chip ice cream is my son’s favorite, so he was pretty excited. My husband on the other hand doesn’t like mint chocolate chip ice cream, so naturally he had a Reese’s ice cream cupcake. If you’ve been a reader long enough you probably know how much my husband LOVES Reese’s. Actually anything with peanut butter and chocolate together, like the Peanut Butter & Chocolate Caramel Corn and Peanut Butter Blossoms we made.

This was one of those ideas I quickly thought of but had no idea if it would work. I didn’t know how much batter to put in the cupcake pan, if the ice cream would slide right off, or if it would turn out to be a complete fail. I’ve had a few of those lately. Hmm, that might make an interesting blog post. :)

To make your own you will need your favorite cake mix, ice cream, and cupcake liners, frosting and chocolate chips optional.
I found using one tablespoon of batter worked the best. If you like more cake than ice cream, increase the batter by a teaspoon. Bake for about 10-12 mins, depending on your oven settings. Once the cupcakes have cooled, press softened ice cream on top and freeze until completely hardened. They are fairly easy to make, but I do suggest you serve them immediately as the ice cream melts quickly.

Β Have you made ice cream cupcakes before? What ice cream flavor did you use? These might make an appearance at our next birthday party. It would make handing out cake and ice cream so much easier.
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back soon with another St. Patrick’s Day idea.

These look wonderful! You have got my mind cranking…. Maybe for the next party I’ll have to have a few different options. These are so pretty and would taste wonderful, so obviously they would have to be presented on a pretty white cake plate like you did. Then I think I’d also have to do a set of chocolate cinnamon cake with coffee ice cream and Mexican fudge sauce. Let’s see, how about vanilla cake with mocha almond fudge ice cream, and lemon cake with a raspberry ice cream, or other fruit ice cream…. would sherbet work, or would it melt too quickly?

Love your photography of the finished product. They’re really well presented. :)

I made these but added crushed Oreos and a layer of room temperature hot fudge between the bottom (devil’s food box cake mix) and the ice cream. Topped off with Cool Whip and sprinkles. You can eat them right out of the freezer, but they are a little stiff. Or let them sit just a bit. Either way, don’t expect there to be leftovers for very long. Oh, and I got the recipe from HungryGirl.com, and it’s all reduced calorie/fat (except for the cookies and fudge, which I added on my own), so they’re Weight Watchers friendly (if you use their recipe they give you the point value). I HIGHLY recommend them.
