Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes are a whimsical dessert that layers cupcake batter with scoops of ice cream, topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and cherries—perfect for birthdays and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box vanilla or chocolate cake mix (plus required eggs, oil, and water)
  • 12 scoops of your favorite ice cream (slightly softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sauce or hot fudge
  • Sprinkles, for topping
  • Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  3. Once cooled, use a spoon or cupcake corer to scoop out a small center from each cupcake.
  4. Place a scoop of ice cream into each cupcake cavity and smooth the top. Freeze until firm, about 1–2 hours.
  5. Top each with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and add sprinkles and a cherry.
  6. Serve immediately or keep frozen until ready to enjoy.
