Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes Semi Homemade Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, combine ice, sugar and strawberries. Pour in lime juice, lemon juice, rum and lemon-lime soda. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake pans with 18 liners.
• 2. CUPCAKES: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mix and flour. With mixer on medium speed, mix in daiquiri mix, egg whites and egg, rum, lemon zest and vegetable oil. Then beat on high for 2 minutes.
• 3. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake at 350 for 18-21 minutes. Until toothpick inserted comes out fairly clean...let cool in pans 10 min then place on wire cooling racks until cooled completely then frost.
• 4. FROSTING: In large mixing bowl, cream butter and cream cheese together, add juice, rum and powdered sugar and mix until creamy and fairly thick, as the strawberries will juice slightly. Stir in diced strawberries and spread or pipe onto cupcakes. Make strawberry fans and top cupcakes if desired.

Steps:

• In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, combine lime peel and juice with rum; add water to bring liquid up to 1 1/4 cups.
• Beat cake mix, lime/rum/water mixture, apple sauce and eggs in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups.
• Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
• Bake in 350 degree oven 15-17 minutes (until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).
• Remove cupcakes from pans immediately, place on wire racks and cool completely.
• Pipe/spread cool whip or frosting on top of cupcakes.
• Garnish each with a quarter of a strawberry and a little grated lime peel.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line standard cupcake pans with 36 cupcake liners.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Set the bowl aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the sugar and margarine with the whisk attachment, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. In a small bowl or cup, combine the water and egg replacer and stir to dissolve the egg replacer. Add the egg replacer to the sugar and mix until combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl. In a small bowl, combine the soy milk and vanilla and set aside. Turn the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients and the soy milk, alternating between the 2, ending with the soy milk.
• Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full with batter and bake until a toothpick inserted into each cupcake comes out clean 19 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
• For the curd: In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together the kiwi puree and sugar. Heat on medium-high until the mixture begins to bubble around the edges. In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch into a slurry. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the puree while whisking. Cook for 2 more minutes while stirring. Let cool completely. Put the cooled kiwi curd into a piping bag and cut 1/4 inch off the tip.
• For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the shortening, margarine, and lecithin until completely combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure that all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Add the strawberry puree and mix until incorporated. Scrape the bottom of the bowl. On low speed, slowly add the sugar a little at a time. Add the lemon juice and rum and mix to combine. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and mix on medium-high speed until all the ingredients are combined and the frosting is fluffy, about 2 minutes. Put the frosting into a pastry bag and cut 1/2 inch off the tip.
• For the shooters: Remove the tops and cores from each strawberry. Set the tops aside in a bowl. Measure the rum into a measuring cup with a spout. Pour a teaspoon of rum into the empty cores of each strawberry. Pipe a teaspoon of strawberry frosting on top of each rum-filled strawberry and place the leafy green strawberry tops back on each strawberry.
• To assemble: With a plastic drinking straw or a small paring knife, make holes in the center of each cupcake. Squeeze the kiwi curd in the center of each cupcake until filled but not overflowing, about 1 tablespoon per cupcake. Pipe a dollop of strawberry frosting onto each cupcake and garnish with a strawberry rum shooter.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan and lightly flour, or spray with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Stir together lime frosting ingredients. Spread frosting evenly over cake. Store loosely covered at room temperature. Just before serving, cut each whole strawberry in half, leaving leaves on. Garnish cake with strawberry halves. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a stand mixer, add the cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, and the strawberry daquiri concentrate. Mix on low for about 30 seconds and then increase to medium speed for 90 seconds (the batter will still be a bit lumpy; take care not to overmix so you don't end up with dry cupcakes).
• Prepare muffin pan with cupcake liners (fill the cups between 2/3 and 3/4 full). Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick registers "done" in the center cupcake.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Remove the cupcakes and cool completely on a baking rack.
• Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost the cupcakes. (Chill the cupcakes if planning to frost them later).
• FROSTING: First wash and hull strawberries and toss them into a food processor (I used a hand blender). Puree strawberries, put over a strainer to drain some of the liquid. Stir occasionally until most of the liquid has drained.
• Add sugar and egg whites into a mixer bowl or another large heatproof bowl, fit the bowl over a plan of simmering water and whisk constantly, keeping the mixture over the heat, until it feels hot to the touch, about 3 minutes. The sugar should be dissolved, and the mixture will look like shiny marshmallow cream. Remove the bowl from the heat.
• Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the meringue on medium speed until it is cool, about 5 minutes.
• Switch to the paddle attachment if you have one (totally optional), and add the butter a tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth.
• Once all the butter is in, beat the frosting on medium-high speed until it is thick and very smooth, 6-10 minutes. Don't freak out if your frosting curdles or separates, keep beating and it will come together again.
• Once the frosting is thick and smooth, gradually beat in the lemon juice on medium speed, waiting until each addition is absorbed before adding more, and then the vanilla. By this point you should have a shiny smooth, velvety, pristine white frosting. You can stop at this point if you want to stick with lemon frosting.
• For strawberry buttercream, gradually add in strawberry puree, beating on medium speed until well incorporated.

Steps:

• Combine lime zest and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Set aside.
• Place lime juice, strawberries, rum, 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Rub the rims of four glasses with a lime wedge, dip rims in lime sugar, and fill glasses with daiquiri.

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven as directed on box.
• 2. Add the correct amount of butter/oil and eggs as directed on box.
• 3. When it comes to the amount of liquid you need to use (the water) substitute the mixer and the rum. (my box says 1 1/4 c. water so I used 1c. mixer and 1/4 c. rum)
• 4. Mix all ingredients together and spoon into cupcake holders. Bake as directed. It should make 15-20 cupcakes
• 5. While the cupcakes are baking take the frozen strawberries in a bowl and cover with some rum. You will need enough berries for one on each cupcake. Let the berries soak in the rum and remember to stir them ever so often.
• 6. * If you want a little extra rum in the cakes. Take a small bowl and fill it with rum. Before icing the cakes dip the tops of each one in the rum. It gives it just that extra kick! ;)
• 7. Now for the icing:
• 8. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer for 1 minute.
• 9. Add 6 cups of confectioners' sugar, the rum, and the mixer. Beat on low speed until creamy. Gradually add the remaining confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until the frosting is thick and creamy.
• 10. Once the cupcakes are cooled completely...In a icing bag or (what I use) a gallon zip lock bag fill it with the icing (if using the zip lock, once it is full just cut the tip of one corner to make a small hole {about the size of your pinky finger tip})
• 11. Ice the top of each cake and then place one drunk strawberry on each one and enjoy!!!!
• 12. * If you are making these and you want to make them child friendly, replace the 1/4 cup rum in the cake with 1/4 cup water and the 1/4 cup rum in the icing with 1/4 cup milk.
