Coconut Lime Cupcakes


This is my own made up recipe! These are super moist and delicious - you won't be able to eat just one. They are even better when you eat them cold. I made candied limes to place on top. Click on the link below to see my easy recipe for candied limes.
  • 1 box of white cake mix
  • 1 box of lime Jell-O mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 cup water
  • lime
Topping
  • 16 oz cool whip
  • 1 can Creme of Coconut (Not coconut milk! Find this in the aisle with the margarita mix & other mixers. It's in a can and has the consistency of shortening)
  • 8 oz cream cheese
 Candied Limes

Mix cream cheese and creme of coconut together with mixer. Add cool whip. Mix until lumps are all gone. Place in the fridge.

Mix cake mix, eggs, oil water and jell-o in bowl. Zest a lime into cake mix. (I also add about 1/2 cup of the lime syrup left over from making the candied limes) Place in cupcake molds and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool.

Top with topping and candied limes. Place in fridge for 2-4 hours. Enjoy!
