Notes

  • Don’t waste your egg yolks! You can use them in this easy lemon curd recipe.
  • Refrigerate the frosted pineapple orange cupcakes for at least an hour before eating. They taste best chilled!
  • For more fruity flavor, use orange, pineapple, banana or coconut pudding mix in the frosting instead of vanilla.
  • Try our pistachio pie recipe next. Easy, no bake treat!
