How to Use Lucky Whip to Fill Cupcakes

Cream-filled cupcakes are delicious and easy to make.

Lucky Whip was a brand of whipped topping that is no longer manufactured. However, products like Dream Whip and Cool Whip may be used to fill cupcakes instead. The process is easy and the results are delicious.

Things You'll Need

• Ingredients for your favorite cupcake recipe
• 1 envelope whipped topping mix or one small tub whipped topping
• Pastry bag with tip or large zip-style plastic bag
• 1 tub frosting

Instructions

1. Bake cupcakes and allow to cool. If you are using topping mix, prepare according to directions.

2. Fill pastry bag or plastic bag with topping. If using a plastic bag, cut a small piece off one corner to form a hole.

3. Cut a small cone out of the center of a cupcake and set aside. Pipe topping into the resulting hole. Cut off the point of the cone to allow room for filling and replace the cone in cupcake.

4. Repeat Step 3 until all cupcakes have been filled.

5. Frost cupcakes as desired and serve.

Tips & Warnings

• An easier way to fill cupcakes is to simply pipe cream into their centers using a pastry bag with a needle tip, but this results in less filling than the cone-removal method.

• Cream-filled cupcakes should be refrigerated.
