Moxy Thoughts

August 15, 2020 in

This week was my son’s 11th birthday and my dad’s 80th, all in quarantine.  Even though we couldn’t have a big party, that didn’t  mean that we were going to skimp on having a great dessert.  When I’m trying to please kids and adults, I go for these super easy and extra tasty sugar free cupcakes.

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t love to bake.  However, there is just not a lot of bakeries around us that make sugar free desserts.  When I discovered the Pillsbury sugar free mixes, it made life so much easier, and tastier!  Pillsbury makes a whole line of sugar free products, but our local store doesn’t carry all of them.  The sugar free yellow cake and the fudge brownies are delicious.  We make cakes and cupcakes from the yellow cake pretty frequently.  These super easy and extra tasty sugar free cupcakes are a hit every single time I make them.

I personally love icing and frosting, which is by definition a challenge without sugar.  That’s where Stevia has been a huge help.  My son has become a whipped cream master.  When we’re making whipped cream for these tasty sugar free cupcakes, he swaps the real sugar for stevia.  Honestly, I don’t think you can taste the difference and it makes the whole dessert 100% sugar free!  From scratch whipped cream is totally worth making.  Homemade sugar free whipped cream only takes a couple of minutes.  You can refrigerate it for up to 3 days to use on fruit for a sweet, no guilt treat.  It’s also really good in crepes and on top of waffles.  Check out the recipe here for tasty and healthy crepes and here for heart healthy whole wheat waffles.

It’s been a challenge to celebrate and make our friends and family feel special during this time.  However, making delicious treats and good for you desserts are at least a little something you can do.

We hope you enjoy these super easy and extra tasty sugar free cupcakes with no sugar whipped cream.  Please share your feedback and pictures!

  • If doing cupcakes, fill cupcake tin with liners or spray well with cooking oil to prevent sticking

  • Let cupcakes cool and then pipe on whipping cream using a pastry bag and tip
