coconut

Pre-heat over to 350° F. Mix Coconut milk well before adding to the batter.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with all remaining ingredients. Beat on medium speed until all ingredients are well mixed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir from the bottom.

Using a large cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly, filling each liner 2/3 full. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cupcake is done. Cool completely.

For the cupcake

Combine the pudding with milk and coconut extract. Whisk until pudding is dissolved. Refrigerate until firm.

Prepare the whipped cream. Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill.

Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream at medium-high speed until soft peaks start to form. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form.

Remove pudding from the refrigerator (after it has set) and gently fold in whipping cream. Place filling in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Filling

Chill the bowl for 5-10 minutes again. Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until cream cheese is smooth and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Add 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Beat into the cream cheese until cream cheese resembles a liquid mixture.

Slowly drizzle in the heavy whipping cream and continue beating until the cream cheese resembles a liquid mixture. Continue to add the remaining heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately or keep refrigerated.

To assemble the cupcakes, remove the middle of the cupcake using a spoon, knife, or cupcake corer. Cut off the tip of the Ziplock bag and fill the center with the coconut mousse filling. Top with cream cheese whipped cream. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. These cupcakes must be refrigerated.

For the Frosting

These are THE BEST. I don't even LIKE coconut, but coconut cake is my MIL's favorite. So I made these as a treat for her birthday dinner. We all fell in love and nearly spoiled our dinner nibbling on them! The creamy filling and the light texture of the frosting just makes this so much fun. And it's SO much easier than many of the other fussy coconut cream pie cupcake recipes out there. Well done!

I made these for a bridal shower &amp; they were a huge hit! I ran out of whipping cream while making the frosting and ended up switching the filling &amp; the frosting and turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!!

You do not include where to purchase the lovely hole extracter you used to remover the center of the cupcake to fill it with pudding. Where might ai purchas3 that item?

Is there a reason for the light sour cream rather than regular sour cream? Coii you pd this recipe be made with regular sour cream instead?

I made these a while back and they are fantastic! So flavorful and light. I’m making them again but I’m concerned about the frosting in the heat. The forecast is for 90°+ the day of the party and they may be out for some time before they’re eaten. How do you think they will hold up?
Thanks so much!
