Рецепт Pink Squirrel Cupcakes
Pink Squirrel Cupcakes
Do you remember the ice cream drink called a Pink Squirrel? I do and it was my favorite! It was made with creme de cacao, creme de almond, which gives it the pink color and vanilla ice cream. Blended in a blender and you have a A Pink Squirrel Shake! I thought, why not make Pink Squirrel Cupcakes or a Pink Squirrel Cake. I have made these cupcakes using a box mix and canned frosting and I have also made a layer cake using a basic 1-2-3-4 cake recipe with a cream cheese frosting. Either way, they are both great and to me they taste very close to the real thing. If you have never tried a Pink Squirrel, whip one up...there is nothing better than the real thing!
