Ok so right back to it.  I decided against making the sugar cookies because I was seriously running out of time yesterday.  AND I had just scored a sweet recipe from Elizabeth Ann Designs Living (EADL) contributor, Amy I.  {By the by, EADL is like my new favorite blog.  Please enjoy.

That sweet new recipe?  Why Ice Cream Cupcakes of course!

I know they don’t look like what you’re thinking…but they are so tasty, I know you’re running right out and make them!

To make the cupcakes you’ll need:

• 1 cake mix {any flavor and or brand you like}  I used FunFetti!  My fav!
• 1 pint ice cream {again any flavor and or brand you like}  I used Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup water

To create:

• Mix all ingredients in your brand new KitchenAid mixer for 4 whole minutes.

• In the meantime, grease the heck out of the reusable silicone baking cups. 

• Bake for 17-20 minutes (until tester is clean and tops are golden brown on yellow cake mixes.  And allow to cool.

• Then, bag them similarly to the chocolate chip goodness,

• Make a nice sign and put it all together in your sweet $5 basket {excited about the basket much?} 

What’s a better gift?  Something to use or something to eat?
