Almond Joy Cupcakes are a sweet treat made with chocolate cake mix, creamy frosting, shredded coconut and toasted almonds that are bursting in flavor with International Delight® Almond Joy™ baked in.
We are no strangers around here to baking with International Delight® Coffee Creamer. You may remember that scrumptious Peanut Butter Chocolate Bundt Cake from a few months back made with International Delight® REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup as a main ingredient! International Delight® offers so many great coffee creamer flavors that can add instant yum to your desserts in a snap.
My local Walmart is my main stop for International Delight® Coffee Creamer and today I picked up International Delight® Almond Joy™ and International Delight® HERSHEY’S® Chocolate Caramel to bring that extra goodness to my Almond Joy Cupcakes and my morning cup of coffee. Look for these delicious flavors and others in the refrigerated section next to the dairy products.
International Delight® Almond Joy™ Cupcakes
Chocolate, coconut and almond flavors are mixed all into these Almond Joy Cupcakes reminiscent of one of the best candy bars around. International Delight® Almond Joy™ helps create this tempting flavor combination with simplicity.
Start off by adding butter, eggs, sour cream, a box of cake mix and International Delight® Almond Joy™ coffee creamer into a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until thoroughly mixed. Pour the batter into your cupcake liners filling each 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. The house is going to smell crazy good as these cupcakes bake with the smell of coconut and chocolate!
Once the cupcakes are cooled, make the frosting by adding butter, vegetable shortening, confectioners sugar and more International Delight® Almond Joy™ into a mixing bowl. Beat until thick and creamy. Make sure to add in the coffee creamer and confectioners sugar in increments until you have reached a good consistency for frosting because a little less or even a little more coffee creamer may be needed from that 1/3 cup recommendation in the recipe card below.
Talk about a drool worthy dessert for this spring season!
