Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Chocolate Frosting – Low-Calorie

These moist chocolate cupcakes with whipped chocolate frosting are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Perfect for parties or family gatherings.

I’m the biggest chocolate lover around. Actually, I have the biggest sweet tooth around, with chocolate being a top favorite. These chocolate cupcakes fulfill both needs. The sponge is super moist and the whipped frosting is fluffy and full of chocolate flavor. These cupcakes make a great party dessert, for kids and adults alike. I’ve made these for my friends and family and they can’t tell they’re one my low-calorie treats. That’s when I know a recipe is a winner. The frosting is a cream cheese-based frosting and it’s also rich and delicious.

Making the cupcakes are so simple, and the best part is there are only 3 ingredients involved. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, in a large mixing bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, vanilla Greek yogurt, and water together until it’s all mixed together well. Scoop the cake mix into cupcake liners. This is enough batter for 24 cupcakes. Bake the cupcakes for 14 minutes.

The frosting is also simple to make. I make the frosting while the cupcakes are cooling. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk. Mix well. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add it into the pudding mix and blend together well. Lastly, fold in the whipped topping. Top the cupcakes with frosting and enjoy!

From start to finish these cupcakes with frosting, are ready in under 30 minutes! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

How do I store Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Chocolate Frosting?

Without frosting, the cupcakes will stay fresh at room temperature for 1-2 days in an airtight container. Store the cupcakes in the refrigerator to last up to 7 days. However, they should be kept in the refrigerator once the whipped topping has been added as the whipped topping should remain refrigerated.
