Warning: the first time you make this dessert will never be the last. From this point on anyone who eats one (or even sees one) will now be begging you to make these all the time. Because these are dessert burger cupcakes. Yes, dessert burgers. That means a delicious yellow cupcake with a brownie sandwiched between it with a little bit of frosting to make it even that much better.
They are a hit at cookouts or any summer event. Your kids will love them and have fun making them with you. They will love eating them even more. Adults will be awed by your skills and their taste buds will also be enamored.
What’s even better about this dessert? It’s how easy they are to make. Let’s get to it!
Ingredients
- Yellow cake mix (and items indicated to make them)
- Brownie Mix (and items indicated to make them)
- Cream Cheese Frosting (white)
- Red, green, and yellow food coloring
- Cupcake liners
Directions:
1. Bake cupcakes according to directions. Make sure you cook them in the cupcake liners (otherwise they will cook too dark on the outside and won’t look good).
2. Bake brownies according to directions. Once cooked and cooled, use a cup (or any circular object) to cut small circles of brownies.
3. Cut cupcakes in half. Put one brownie circle between each half.
4. Scoop out frosting into three bowls. Dye each bowl a different color: red (ketchup), green (lettuce), and yellow (mustard).
5. Put a dollop of frosting on each brownie and put top back on.
Can we get a round of YUMS?! I hope you can make them at your home and share with your family and friends. Let me tell you, nothing puts a light in someone’s eye like when they see these little burgers, and ask curiously, “Are those burgers?” And then you get to explain they are dessert burgers and everyone’s life gets a little sweeter because of it.
Here’s to making life a little sweeter however we can!
