Cupcake Shake Shooters

Last month I shared this fun recipe over at Clarks Condensed and just in case you missed it over there, I wanted to share it with you here!

I love to throw birthday parties. Whether it’s a classic birthday party theme or Dr. Seuss, I’m all over it and loving it. Recently I decided to step away from the traditional cake and ice cream for a birthday party and combined the two to make one delicious dessert. Enter Cupcake Shake Shooters!

These babies are a combination of ice cream and a cupcake, served up in a baby food jar. I love how fun these are to display and, better yet, to drink! They’re so creamy and delicious, and a fun spin on the classic birthday dessert. The baby food jars are just the right size for kids.

Cupcake Shake Shooters are also a great way to use up leftover cupcakes from a party where cupcakes were served for dessert!

View the recipe below as a measurement guide then take it away with your own preferences. Combine different flavors of cupcakes with your favorite ice cream for incredibly delicious little shooters. You could also use chocolate chips, candy, etc. for garnish on the whipping cream. (Am I the only one who wants one of these right now?)
