Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16.25 oz.) box white cake mix
2 (16 oz.) tubs vanilla frosting ((not whipped))
2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
6 drops yellow food coloring
1 1/2 c. strawberry or raspberry preserves
24 Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates
4 T. grated white chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until cupcakes are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Scoop the vanilla frosting into a medium bowl; tint the frosting with the cocoa powder and yellow food coloring; using an electric mixer, beat to combine. Spread a thin layer of tinted frosting on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.
  • Spoon the remaining tinted frosting into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe (Noodles) frosting all over the cupcakes, piling it high and having some of the (Noodles) frosting hang over the edges of the cupcakes
  • Unwrap the hazelnut chocolates. Pour strawberry preserves into a medium bowl; toss the chocolates with preserves to coat. Place a (Meatball) coated chocolate on top of each cupcake; spoon cupcakes with the remaining (Spaghetti Sauce) strawberry preserves.
  • Sprinkle the cupcakes with (Parmesan Cheese) grated white chocolate and serve.

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh ground beef, sweet Italian sausage, and ripe tomatoes are all essential.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture, or the meatballs will be tough.
  • Bake the meatballs at a high temperature so they get crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
  • Use a muffin tin that is specifically designed for cupcakes, as regular muffin tins may be too large.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, as the meatballs will expand as they bake.
  • Bake the meatballs until they are cooked through, but not dry. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatballs cool slightly before serving, so they are easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti and meatball cupcakes are a fun and delicious way to enjoy a classic Italian dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can make these cupcakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
