White Chocolate Eggnog Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Beat dry cake mix, eggnog, oil, egg whites and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg in large bowl with mixer until blended. Stir in chocolate.
• Spoon into 22 paper-lined muffin pan cups.
• Bake 18 to 20 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers of cupcakes comes out clean; cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, butter and rum extract in large bowl with mixer until blended. Beat in sugar, 1 cup at a time. Whisk in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate at least 30 min. or until ready to use.
• Spoon frosting into freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag. Insert tip of bag into top of each cupcake to pipe about 1 Tbsp. frosting into center of cupcake.
• Frost cupcakes with remaining frosting. Sprinkle lightly with remaining nutmeg.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Stir yellow cake mix, 1 1/2 cups eggnog, eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, and nutmeg together in a bowl until batter is smooth. Pour cupcake batter into prepared muffin cups to fill about 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Stir 1 cup eggnog and flour together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Beat butter, shortening, and sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly beat in cooled eggnog mixture and beat until desired frosting consistency is reached. Spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
