Strawberry Kiwi Daiquiri Cupcakes With Kiwi Curd Strawberry Rum Frosting And Strawberry Rum Shooter Garnish Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until light and smooth. Beat in 3 cups powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Beat in the strawberry fruit spread or jam into the vanilla frosting. Mix in the remaining 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra, as needed, until smooth and creamy.

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Blend the strawberries then push the resulting puree through a sieve to remove some of the seeds. Tip the sieved puree into the blender again and add the ice, rum and lime juice. Blend again and divide the mixture between 2 Martini glasses.
• Thread the lime slices and strawberry halves onto the cocktail sticks and place onto the edge of the glass, serve immediately.
