Time 1h50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup Key lime or regular lime juice
4 drops green food color
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
48 regular-size paper baking cups
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 container Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting
1 tablespoon Key lime or regular lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grated Key lime or regular lime peel

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat pudding mix and whipping cream with whisk 2 minutes. Let stand 3 minutes. Beat in 1/4 cup Key lime juice and the food color; stir in powdered sugar until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place 24 of the paper baking cups in each of 24 regular size muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box. Spoon about 1 rounded tablespoonful batter into each muffin cup, using about half of the batter. (Muffin cups will be about one-third full.) Refrigerate remaining batter. Bake 11 to 15 minutes (14 to 20 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining baking cups and batter. Cool cupcakes completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove paper baking cups from cupcakes. Swirl about 2 teaspoons topping on top of each cupcake.
  • Stir frosting in container 20 times. Gently stir in 1 tablespoon Key lime juice and the lime peel. Spoon frosting into 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut 1/2-inch opening from bottom corner of bag. Squeeze 1 rounded teaspoonful frosting from bag onto topping. Garnish with fresh lime wedge, if desired. Store in refrigerator.

These cupcakes are the perfect size for a party. They're small enough that you can eat two or three without feeling too full.

I made these cupcakes with gluten-free flour and they turned out perfectly. They were just as delicious as the regular version.

I'm allergic to limes, so I substituted lemon juice in the frosting. They turned out great!

These cupcakes were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The cake was still very good, though.

I'm not a big fan of key lime pie, but these cupcakes were surprisingly delicious. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
