Ingredients

  • 1 can of DOLE® Crushed Pineapple (8 ounces)
  • 1 pack of white cake mix (18.25 ounces)
  • 1 packet of lemon-flavored gelatin (3 ounces)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup of water
  • ⅓ cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 can of ready-made vanilla frosting (16 ounces)
  • A sprinkle of multi-colored sprinkles as required

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a warm 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab your mini-muffin pan and line it with those cute mini-cupcake papers, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter each.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the juicy pineapple, cake mix, gelatin, eggs, water, and oil. Stir everything together until it's well blended and smells delightful. Take a moment to appreciate those tropical vibes!

Step 3

Now, it's time to get hands-on. Using a spoon, carefully fill each cupcake paper with a generous tablespoon of the batter. This step is where the magic begins to take shape.

Step 4

Pop the pan into the oven and let the mini cakes bake for around 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, signaling that they're perfectly baked.

Step 5

Once out of the oven, let the mini cupcakes cool completely on wire racks. This step is crucial for the flavors to settle and develop fully.

Step 6

Now, let's add a touch of creativity! Grab your frosting and pipe it onto each cake bite, forming cute little flowers on top. Sprinkle some colorful sprinkles for an extra pop of fun and flavor.

Step 7

Voila! Your mini pineapple cupcakes are now transformed into delightful treats that are sure to impress. Enjoy the burst of pineapple goodness in every bite!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your Pineapple Lemon Bites fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. This will help preserve their tangy flavors and juicy texture.
  2. 2. For a burst of freshness, store your citrus twist bites in a glass jar with a slice of lemon or lime on top. This not only adds a decorative touch but also infuses the bites with a zesty aroma.
  3. 3. To enhance the tropical flavors of the pineapple in your bites, consider storing them in a resealable bag with a sprinkle of shredded coconut. This will add a hint of nuttiness and sweetness to each bite.
