Ingredients
18 servings
- •18 unfrosted cupcakes, cooled
- •¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- •1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- •2 ¾ cups powdered sugar
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •⅛ teaspoon salt
- •2 tablespoons heavy cream
- •1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- •42 miniature marshmallows
- •44 black sugar pearl sprinkles, or as needed
Instructions
- Place butter in a large bowl and cream until smooth with an electric mixer. Add cream cheese and beat until thoroughly combined. Mix in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and salt until thoroughly combined. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Take 1 baked and cooled cupcake and frost with cream cheese frosting, making as even a layer as possible. Sprinkle coconut over the top of the frosting, and shake off any excess.
- Take 1 mini marshmallow and cut it in half horizontally using scissors or kitchen shears. Place one half of the marshmallow cut-side down in the center of the top of the cupcake, and press gently into the frosting to adhere. Take 1 black sugar pearl sprinkle and attach to the middle of the marshmallow half using a small amount of frosting; thus creating the nose and muzzle. Take 2 black sugar pearl sprinkles and place above the nose on each side for the eyes. Press gently into frosting to adhere. Take 2 whole mini marshmallows and place at the top of the cupcake on each side to create ears. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
