April Fools!!

So for dinner tonight I made "spaghetti and meatballs" for Cy and my friend Cassie!  These were so fun to make and all of us had a hard time cutting into the "meatballs" because it really did look like a meatball! 

 All you do is make cupcakes of your choosing; I made a delicious ricotta pound cake cupcake *recipe below.   

Then you make a buttercream frosting of your choosing and swirl it all around the tops of the cupcakes so they look like noodles.  

Take some Ferrero Rocher candies and roll them around in some strawberry jam and top them over the "noodles".  

Grate some white chocolate for the "parmesan cheese" and enjoy!!  They are delicious!

Ricotta Cupcakes:

3 Tbsp of Sugar

3 Tbsp of Room Temperature Butter 

1 Egg

3 Tbsp of Ricotta Cheese (I used part-skim)

1/4 tsp Almond Extract

1/2 Cup Flour

1/4 Tsp Baking Powder

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 - this recipe makes 4 cupcakes so even better, no leftovers to binge on!!! :)

1.)  Beat the sugar and butter together until fluffy (About a minute)

2.)  Add the egg, ricotta cheese and almond extract and beat it together until it is combined

3.)  Pour flour and baking powder over mixture and blend until it is just combined

4.)  Pour batter into 4 lined baking cups and bake for 18-20 minutes.  Tops should be lightly browned

5.)  Frost once they are cool!
