Lemon Cream & Coconut Icebox Cupcakes makes 24 cupcakes

2 ounces cream cheese, very soft 2 cups whipping cream 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large lemons, zested and juiced (about 1/3 cup juice) 72 Nilla wafers (from 1 box) 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes 24 raspberries, fresh or frozen and defrosted

Whip the cream cheese until very soft in the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a large bowl and hand mixer). Gradually whip in the cream. When it has been smoothly combined with the butter, add the powdered sugar, salt, and lemon zest (about 2 tablespoons). Whip until the cream forms firm peaks, then slowly beat in the lemon juice. Continue beating until completely combined. The cream should still hold soft peaks.

Place a Nilla wafer in a cupcake paper or in a ramekin. Smear about a tablespoon of cream on top of the wafer. Smear cream on another wafer and put it on top, then repeat once more, for a total of three layers. Sprinkle coconut generously over the stack. Repeat until you've used up all the wafers and cream. Top each with one raspberry.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the stack has softened into a cakey texture.

Mountain Dew And Doritos

"The key secret to using soda in cakes is to create a syrup out of it; boil it and reduce to about 25 to 30 percent, until it’s nice and thick – you can use that in place of some of other liquid in the batter recipe. You can also use it in the icing, but you only need a little bit; otherwise it will become runny."
