Refreshing "No-Bake" Cupcakes

These are so easy to make and so good -





Refreshing "No-Bake" Cupcakes



1 12-oz container Cool Whip

1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 tsp Almond extract

1 10-oz jar maraschino cherries (with stems) (chopped)

1 20-oz can crushed pineapple (drain and reserve juice)

2-3 bananas, chopped

Additional cool whip for garnish, if desired



1. Pour pineapple juice over bananas.

2. Chop cherries into fourths. I used about 12 cherries, but you can use as many as you like. Make sure you reserve enough cherries to add to the top of the cupcakes when done, if desired. You will get 22 - 24 cupcakes.

3. Mix cool whip, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and almond extract together.

4. Add cherries, pineapple, bananas (not pineapple juice), and 2 tbsp of cherry juice from the jar to the cool whip mixture and mix well.

5. Scoop mixture into cupcake pans lined with cupcake liners.

6. Put cupcake pans into the freezer and allow to completely freeze.

7. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry, if desired.
