Grilled Cupcakes
Your friends won't believe it when you make them a batch of grilled cupcakes. They're just as easy as baking them in the oven, but so much more fun for the summer.
Servings: 20
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 box cake mix
- 1 oz box sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups cold water
Buttercream Icing
- 1 stick Crisco shortening
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Cream Cheese Icing
- 8 ozs cream cheese
- 1 stick butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Heat the grill to 400F degrees with an area of indirect heat. For my gas grill, I turn 2 the two outside burners to medium and leave the two inner burners off.
- Mix the cake batter ingredients in a large bowl. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Add cake batter to the liners, filling 3/4 of the way full.
- Place a pie tin on the grill over the indirect heat. Place the cupcake pan on top of the pie tin, so it's elevated.
- Close the lid, and grill for 15 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and grill for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and let cool.
- Mix together the icing ingredients, and pipe the icing onto the cupcakes.
