Auntie Elaine's Just Like Heaven Cloud Filled Cupcakes

Just Like Heaven Cloud Filled Cupcakes

Two words, two ingredients. Yes, it is true! Two main ingredients. Believe it or not.
Number one, chocolate cake box mix and the 3 eggs, oil and water that the box calls for.
Number two, Cool Whip.

Told ya so!

Give credit where credit is due.
Thank you Auntie Elaine for
giving us these wonderful
cupcakes!

So my sister-in-law, Elaine, who I consider to be one of the hardest working, dedicated mothers I know, has been making these little delights for years. When I say delights, it is an understatement. When I first laid eyes on them, I thought, really, chocolate cupcakes, no frosting, only Cool Whip and those are supposed to be good? You have to be kidding? No frosting? No way!

Boy was I ever wrong. These are delicious in every way. They are super duper simple to make and they taste AWESOME! For real.

Here is what I did:
Make the chocolate cupcakes according to the box. It's can't get much easier.
Let them cool on the wire rack.
When cool, cut the tops out into a cone shape going down into the cupcake.
Reserve the top.
Fill hole in cupcake with a dollop of Cool Whip.
Replace the lid of the cupcake. Do not smash the lid all the way down.
Refrigerate.
Serve cold, they taste best that way.

It wouldn't be baking
if I didn't have a
little taste testing,
bowl licking cutie
at my side.

Period. Donezo.

I thought I would keep this post short and sweet, just like it is to make these, short and sweet. Thank you Auntie Elaine for opening my eyes to these wonderful treats straight from the clouds of heaven!
