Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix (18.25 ounces)
- 1 box lime Jello (not sugar-free) (3 ounces)
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Kool-Aid powdered mix (watermelon flavor)
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, lime Jello powder, egg whites, vegetable oil, and water. Beat for 2 minutes until well blended.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the cake batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, spread melted white chocolate over the top of each cupcake. Let the chocolate set while you prepare the frosting.
- In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the softened butter with powdered sugar, Kool-Aid powdered mix, and milk until fluffy and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with your desired tip (such as 6S). Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake.
- Immediately sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the frosted cupcakes to resemble watermelon seeds.
- Serve and enjoy these adorable and delicious watermelon cupcakes!
