Confetti Cups Recipes

FUNFETTI CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk or sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. On medium speed, beat in egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add milk and sour cream/heavy cream and beat until combined. Add the other half of the dry ingredients and beat slowly just until combined. Stir in sprinkles. Do not over mix - the less you mix, the lighter the cupcakes will be.
• Divide batter evenly between the cups, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Frost cupcakes with frosting and top with sprinkles.
• Unfrosted cupcakes can be kept tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw, still covered, on the counter or overnight in the fridge (same for the frosting but bring it to room temperature and stir well before using to frost the cupcakes). Frosted cupcakes can be kept at room temperature for 24 hours or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving (at least 1 hour).

CONFETTI SQUARES - AKA PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW SQUARES

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan with aluminium foil and lightly grease.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat melt together the butter, peanut butter & butterscotch chips.
• Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Stir in the marshmallows.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set in the fridge to harden (about 1-2 hours).

CONFETTI CUPS

Steps:

• For the confetti cups: Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan with a cupcake liner.
• Process 15 of the vanilla sandwich cookies into crumbs in a food processor. Add the melted butter, then mix to combine. Press the crumbs into the cupcake liners. Set aside.
• Crush the remaining 4 vanilla sandwich cookies into chunks. Mix the softened ice cream with the crushed vanilla cookies and sprinkles in a bowl. Spoon into the cupcake liners.
• For the toppings: Press the rainbow sprinkles and chocolate shavings into the top of each cup. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Remove the confetti cups from the muffin pan (leaving on the cupcake liners) and place in a single layer in resealable bags or other airtight containers.
• To serve, peel off the liners and place each one on a plate. Top with sweetened whipped cream if you'd like. You can also just serve them in the liners.
