These Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes are fluffy strawberry cupcakes topped with sweet swirls of vanilla buttercream, homemade chocolate ganache, sprinkles, and a cherry on top!

INGREDIENTS:

1 BATCH STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES, PREPARED (24 CUPCAKES)

FOR THE FROSTING:

• 1 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
• 3-4 Tbsp milk

FOR THE GANACHE:

• 1 package (11oz) dark chocolate morsels
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• candy “cherry on top”, optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare cake according to package directions. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding frosting.
2. For the frosting, beat butter with an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes, until pale yellow and smooth. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk. Beat for an additional 3-5 minutes, until fluffy.
3. Using a large ziploc bag, fill with the frosting. Snip off the corner and pipe onto each cupcake (pattern doesn’t matter).
