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.

I love these!! Will definitely have to save this for later! I tried making some before and it was a complete fail, lol. But I did make my husband a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake for his birthday last year and it was a hit! I did it with homemade ice cream so it was still soft when I put it on the cake and then I froze it. It was fantastic!

Great idea! I wonder how these would work if you used cookie dough as the base instead of cake dough?

I think that would be awesome! I’ve had some readers tell me they want to try it with a brownie base. The only problem I foresee with either of those is that the base may be too hard if you’re freezing them instead of serving right away. But I think a cookie base sounds delicious! Thanks for stopping by.

Too funny, I made something similar last year for my sons birthday. I encased a brownie in ice cream. Here is the link:

https://workinscrappinmomof4.blogspot.com/2011/07/kyles-great-8-part-1.html

I did some with chocolate ice cream and some with mint chocolate.

Love your idea, can’t wait to try it!

TFS.

I agree, I wasn’t sure if the whip cream frosting went on before you serve or if it can be frozen? I want to try finding an ice cream cake whip cream frosting that can be frozen.

I am planning on making these this weekend! They look delicious! I was wondering when you put the frosting on. Did you put the frosting on after the ice cream and then freeze? Or did you put it on before you served? Also, what kind of frosting is this? Everything looks amazing!

Thanks!!

I put the frosting on then put them in the freezer. I used regular frosting but I would suggest whipped cream then put them in the freezer. The frosting was a bit too much for me. I hope you enjoy your cupcakes! :)

It works best if you use stabilized whipped cream on top.

[…] Food Photography May 6, 2012 Leave a Comment When I first started blogging I had no idea what went into having a blog or what drew readers in. What I soon realized was that having clear pictures is very important if you want to get noticed. My problem with this is that I lack knowledge in the photography department, as in I have no clue how to use my DSLR in manual mode. That’s not to say I don’t know how to use my camera at all, it’s just that I have a lot to learn. I feel as if I’ve made a big improvement over the last year and a half, especially within the last few months. For instance here are some recent pictures that I would consider my best.
