Now, for the Lime Cupcakes…a couple months ago, I shared my Mini Key Lime Cupcakes over at Lifetime Moms. They were so delicious, that I thought they would taste good in a regular cupcake too. So, I played around a little and came up with a couple different variations for you.
Key Lime Cupcakes
Key Lime Cupcake recipe from HoosierHomemade.com
Ingredients
- Vanilla or Yellow Cupcakes
- 1 box (4 oz) Vanilla Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
- 1/2 cups Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cup Key Lime or Regular Lime Juice (I used freshed squeezed)
- 4 drops of Green Food Color
- 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat pudding and whipping cream with a wire whisk for 2 minutes.
- Let stand 3 minutes.
- Beat in lime juice and food coloring, stir in powdered sugar.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- After cupcakes are cooled, slice off the top 1/3 of the cupcake.
- Spoon filling onto cupcake , and add the top of the cupcake.

I used real whipping cream for the topping.
- Beat until stiff peaks form, add a dash of vanilla for flavor and about 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- Place in decorator bag, and pipe onto the top.
- Add a few green sprinkles if desired.
For the second variation, I left the cupcakes whole and filled the inside with the Key Lime filling.
- There are several ways to fill a cupcake, most of the time, I use an apple corer to make a hole in the center and then fill.
- Top with whipping cream and a wedge of fresh lime.

Key lime is my husband’s favorite cheesecake. I’ll have to make these for his May birthday and add a cream cheese frosting. Delish! Would you be able to make a video on High Top cupcakes from Martha Stewart’s cupcake book? They look awesome, but scarey to make. Thanks for sharing your talents!
@Donna, I can certainly give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
