Yummy Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes

I have posted this idea on here before but was asked to put it together in one actual recipe.....so here it is.  

The best cupcake you have ever eaten!!

YUMMY Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes

1 Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (or any flavor you like)

8 oz. Cream Cheese (1/3 less fat works fine too)

1/2 c. sugar

1 egg

1/2 c. milk chocolate chips

Cream Cheese Frosting

1/2 c. Butter flavored Crisco Shortening

1 lb. powdered sugar

1/2 t. salt

1 t. pure vanilla

1/3 c. milk

Candy Sprinkles

Mix cake mix as directed on box. Line muffin pan with 24 to 30 cupcake papers and spray them with cooking spray. Fill cupcake papers slightly over 1/2 full with cake batter. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chocolate chips. Using a small cookie scoop place a dollop of cream cheese mixture on top of the cake batter in each cupcake paper. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, as these bake the batter comes up around the cream cheese making a self filled cupcake that is so YUMMY. Cool. Beat together all frosting ingredients. Using a pastry bag or knife swirl the frosting on the top of each cupcake and sprinkle with candy sprinkles. Makes 24 to 30 cupcakes.

 

This is the easiest way to fill a cupcake and the taste is better than you ever imagined!! You are gonna love these cupcakes! Use any flavor cake mix you like, this filling goes great with any one. If you want to make your own cake batter recipe that will work too!
