Easy Watermelon Sorbet

This recipe is amazing, just two ingredients : frozen watermelon & water. Actually it’s just one ingredient if you don’t count water as a ingredient. Best part? It’s fast, easy, delicious and totally healthy and without all the usual guilt. Because watermelons are usually sweet by itself, you don’t need to add any sweetners at all. 

Besides, no ice cream maker is needed. Now now, you better get going and make this for yourself.

Totally going to make this!

Love from the Oven Hot Cocoa Cupcakes with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting recipe

Hot Cocoa Cupcakes – Makes 12 Cupcakes
Adapted from How Sweet It Is

• 1 1/8 cup all purpose flour
• 2 hot cocoa packets (this measures out to approx 1/2 cup)
• 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup butter melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.    In a bowl, whisk egg and sugar until smooth.  Add in your buttermilk, butter and vanilla and mix until smooth.   Sift your dry ingredients together and add to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.   Line a muffin tin with liners and scoop batter into each cup.   Bake for 16-20 minutes.

When I’m making a small amount of batter, I like to use my OXO Good Grips Egg Beater.   This is the first egg beater I’ve ever owned, and it is so easy to use, and is perfect for small amounts of mixing.   And obviously it’s great for scrambled eggs.

We can’t leave out the marshmallow buttercream!   As I usually do, I make my buttercream without a recipe, but my no recipe-recipe is pretty much the recipe you find on the back of the C&H Powdered Sugar box (for those of you counting, I worked recipe into that sentence four times)…

To a full 1-lb. box of C&H Pure Cane Powdered Sugar, simply add 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick), ¼ cup of milk, and 1 tsp. of vanilla. Mix.   I also add a 1/2-1 tsp of salt.

Can you believe that I have never purchased marshmallow creme before?  Yeah, I’m not sure how that happened, but I’ve taken care of it.   So anyways, make up your buttercream (or just dump a can of pre-made frosting into a bowl, it’ll probably work just fine) and then add about one cup of marshmallow creme.   This was about half of my jar, and I’m thinking next time I might even go for a bit more.   I then whipped it in my mixer for about two minutes with the buttercream, and the result was fluffy white goodness.

It’s that simple – love it!  And it’s SO good.   I decorated the cupcakes a few different ways, just for fun.  The winning combo in my house was the one that had everything on it – frosting, sprinkles, hot cocoa powder and the Kraft Mallow Bits.   Topping it with the hot cocoa powder really brings it all together and gives an extra punch of that hot cocoa flavor.  I highly recommend it.   You can either sprinkle some on with a spoon, or I put mine in a little powdered sugar / cinnamon sugar dispenser I had, and that worked out well.

is this just fantasy

No way…no way

IT WORKS. EVEN THOUGH I SUBSTITUTED VEGETABLE OIL FOR OLIVE OIL AND NESQUIK FOR COCOA POWDER. 

DOING THIS NOW

Just made this, except I added chocolate chips and used gluten free flour—which meant more water and added Xanathan Gum, but it still tasted delicious. :)
