When I saw the picture of the cupcake and its icing, I said, 'That's for me!'. I do love lime and I love coconut. And they're even better together. I'll be sure to try this recipe some time.
ReplyDeleteAll of these recipes look wonderful! But I am going to try a short cut. I am going to make a box yellow cake mix as cupcakes, then after they cool, I am going to make some instant vanilla pudding and flavor it with some Lime jello powder. I will then use a melon baller and scoop out some of the cupcake center and fill with the lime filling. Next, I am going to flavor some pre-made vanilla or cream cheese icing with coconut extract, ice the cupcakes, and sprinkle the tops with flaked coconut!
ReplyDeleteI have'nt tried this yet, but it sounds good in my head! I'll be making this desert along with my Pina Colada dip and Margarita shrimp cocktails for a playgroup next week! I'm hoping we'll alll feel like we're on a tropical vacation!
I have been wanting to make a coconut and lime confection for a while now, and I am so happy I came across this blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm making the cupcakes and the icing right now and I'm hoping they come out as good as they look in your pics!
Jaime - why bother with shortcuts if you're on a recipe site? Just take the time and do it right! And by the way that sounds GROSS.
ReplyDeleteI just made this recipe and it's fantastic. The texture of the cupcakes is great and the tang and sweet of the icing is perfect. Put a dash of green dye in for St. Patty's Day and VOILA!
