SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS CUPCAKES

Create this fun cupcake recipe for April Fool's Day!

Provided by Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

Categories     Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 6

9 oz. white cake mix box
16 oz. tub cream cheese or vanilla frosting
3 drops of yellow food coloring
3/4 cup low-sugar strawberry preserves (low-sugar has the best color)
24 hazelnut chocolates, unwrapped (I used Ferrero Rocher, but you could use anything that resembles a meatball)
2 tablespoons grated white chocolate

Steps:

  • Prepare your cupcakes according to package instructions. Let them cool.
  • Tint the frosting with the yellow food coloring. Spread a thin layer of tinted frosting on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter close together.
  • Spoon the remaining tinted frosting into a piping bag with a Number 2 Wilton tip. Alternatively, you could use a Ziploc bag and snip a small corner from the bag (1/8 inch). Either piping method is fine!
  • Now, have fun piping the frosting all over the cupcakes to make the noodles (this was my favorite part!). Make sure to pile the "noodles" high and have some of the "noodles" hang over the edges of the cupcakes.
  • Mix the "meatball" chocolates with the strawberry preserves in a bowl to coat. Spoon some of the preserves on top of each cupcake. Place preserves-coated chocolate on top of each cupcake. With a spoon, drizzle cupcakes with the remaining strawberry preserves.
  • Sprinkle the grated white chocolate over the cupcakes to look like Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy and Happy April Fool's Day!

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS (CUPCAKES)



Spaghetti and Meatballs (Cupcakes) image

More of a how-to than an actual recipe as this begins with 10 of your favorite white cupcakes, either from a box or homemade. Fun to make, fun to serve, and no fancy equipment needed either. I used a #7 tip to pipe on the spaghetti but you can use a Ziploc and snip off a corner if the other isn't available. Zaar editor would not recognize the 11 hazelnut chocolates (Ferrero Rocher) needed for an all-important part of the presentation...the meatballs! Please keep that in mind.

Time 20m

Yield 1 platter, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 vanilla cupcakes, baked in white paper liners
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 drops yellow food coloring
3/4 cup low-sugar strawberry preserves (best for color)
2 tablespoons grated white chocolate, plus an additional chunk (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Use both the unsweetened cocoa powder and yellow food coloring to tint the icing. Spread a thin layer on top of each of the 10 cupcakes and arrange on a platter, four down the center and three on each side. Place so they are just touching each other. This will form the bed for your "pasta".
  • Put remaing icing in a pastry bag, press the air out then seal. Using a plain tip pipe the icing all over the cupcakes to look like spaghetti letting some fall over the sides of the cupcakes for an authentic look.
  • Place the hazelnuts and strawbery preserves in a bowl and toss to coat Spoon a bit of the preserves on top of each cupcake then place a hazelnut (meatball) on each and let that extra meatball fall on the side of the platter. Sprinkle with the grated white chocolate (parmesan). Place the chocolate chunk on a small plate along with a mini grater and bring to the table when you serve your spaghetti dessert.
  • Enjoy your spaghetti & meatballs!

Tips:

  • For the cupcakes, use a boxed cake mix or your favorite homemade recipe. If using a boxed mix, follow the package instructions for baking. If making your own cake batter, ensure it is moist and dense so that it can hold up to the frosting and meatball topping.
  • For the frosting, use a vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting. To make the frosting, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add cream or cream cheese and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
  • For the meatballs, use a ground beef or turkey mixture. Season the meat mixture with Italian herbs, garlic, and onion powder. Then, form the mixture into small meatballs and bake in the oven until cooked through.
  • To assemble the cupcakes, pipe or spread a generous amount of frosting onto each cupcake. Then, top each cupcake with a meatball and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, serve the cupcakes on a platter decorated with spaghetti noodles and tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

These spaghetti and meatballs cupcakes are a fun and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So get creative and have fun with this recipe!
