I wrote a blog previously about a Heavenly Chocolate Cheese Cake that incorporated individual chocolate cream cheese packets I received for free at one point. I still have these in my freezer, and had another epiphany when I strolled the aisles of my local Dollar Tree. There, in the food department is an abundance of overstock items. I recently latched onto a Mrs. Field cupcake mix. For only $1 I had the makings of a special treat for my boys. Thinking it included the icing, I was baffled once I got home wondering what type of icing I could produce after finding out the box included none. After all, for $1, and only 12 cupcakes, I thought it would be an "all in one box."
I realized I still had frozen chocolate cream cheese left and thought I'd create a cupcake surprise. Well, these were so fabulous I just had to share. There is a cream cheese filling in the middle, topped with a cream cheese frosting, and after one bite, you'd think they were professional bakery quality! If you don't have these cream cheese packets, one block of chocolate Philadelphia brand cream cheese will do.
1 box of Mrs. Field's Chocolate Cupcake mix
Filling:
6 (1.25) oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese packets
1/4 cup sugar
3 tab. flour
12 cupcake liners
Icing:
6 (1.25) oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese packets
2 tsp. milk
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Prepare Mrs. Field's chocolate cupcakes according to directions. In another bowl, place cream cheese and whip by hand to complete filling. Add sugar and flour and whip until fluffy. In each cupcake liner place 1 tab. of batter, 1 1/2 tsp. of cream cheese mixuter, and top with an additonal tablespoon of batter. Bake 12 cupcakes according to directions. When cool, place additional cream cheese packets in a bowl. Whip for 3 minutes. Add milk and whip an additional 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and whip for an additional 3 minutes. Frost cooled cupcakes. These will go quickly!
