Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, egg substitute, and 1/2 cup water. Whisk until completely blended.

Add chocolate chips to the bowl and gently stir. Evenly distribute mixture among the cups of the muffin pan. (Cups will be about one-third full.)

Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out mostly clean, 20 - 22 minutes.

Let cupcakes cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

Remove cupcakes from the pan. Evenly top cupcakes with ice cream, 1/4 cup per cupcake. Evenly top each cupcake's ice cream layer with 2 tbsp. Cool Whip and 1/2 tsp. sprinkles.

Transfer cupcakes to a large platter that will fit in your freezer, or place them back in the cooled muffin pan.

Freeze for at least 1 1/2 hours, until ice cream is firm and Cool Whip is frozen. Then eat!

HG Tip! If frozen for longer than 1 1/2 hours, allow cupcakes to slightly thaw before eating, about 5 minutes.
