Back to my sister… she absolutely loves Italian Cream Cake and she had had it before quite a few times and she assures me that this one tastes great!! Without further delay… here's my recipe for Italian Cream Cheese Cupcakes. Wait - before I do that… quick. To make Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
Instructions to make Quick Italian Cream Cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350. Fill cupcake tin with liners and set aside.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of coconut.(Or more if you like) Continuously stir to allow the heat to dry out the coconut and begin to brown. This can take about 5-10 minutes. Also, keep in mind that if you are using sweetened coconut it tends to brown faster so keep a close eye on the browning process. Once brown, set aside to cool.
- Mix first five ingredients until well incorporated. Gently stir in 1 cup of coconut and 3/4 cup of pecans reserving the rest for the topping.
- Spoon the cupcake batter into your lined cupcake tin 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven once done and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- For the cream cheese frosting- In a stand mixer (or a regular hand held mixer will do fine) beat the cream cheese and butter until well combined and smooth.
- Add the sifted powdered sugar one cup at a time until all the sugar is incorporated. Add in the almond and vanilla extracts until smooth and creamy.
- Frost cupcakes once cooled or pipe on frosting using a piping bag and tip. Top the cupcakes with remaining chopped pecans and toasted coconut and enjoy!
