From the Recipe Creator:
These cupcakes are the perfect use for fresh strawberries you have stored. Instead of strawberry jam or Jell-O powder, they feature the natural color and flavor of vibrant, fresh berries. Pair the cupcakes with a pale pink strawberry frosting, or use your favorite. Either way, they’re sure to impress! —Molly Allen, Hood River, Oregon
A pop of fruity flavor is welcome on any dessert table, and these strawberry cupcakes are a nice change of pace from all the chocolate. Make good use of fresh berries for these tender hand-held cakes topped with a dreamy strawberry frosting.
Super Bowl Dessert FAQs
What desserts can I make the day before?
There’s no need to make a dessert on the day of the game, unless you need a quick, last-minute fix. Prep ahead with a bit of planning! Just about every dessert on this list can be prepped the day before. Make your brownies, bars, cookies, fudge, popcorn balls, caramels and bonbons, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Items such as cannoli dip or banana pudding can be made the day before and stored covered in the fridge.
How do I incorporate team colors into desserts?
Rooting for a specific team? Theme your desserts! Use food coloring to represent the team’s colors. You can add it to the frosting for cakes or cupcakes, or even straight in the dough for cookies. Another great option? Use sprinkles to dress up desserts in team colors.
How do I transport desserts to a party?
The majority of the desserts on this list are easy to transport if you’re heading over to another house to watch the game. Items such as cookies, brownies and bars can be transported in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. For items such as brownie batter dip or banana pudding, take the dessert in a bowl covered with a lid or storage wrap.
