What You Need

pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix

pkg. (1.5 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Pudding

cup cold fat-free milk

tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Sugar Free Whipped Topping, thawed

small fresh strawberries, each cut into 5 slices

1/2

cup blueberries

Make It

PREPARE cake batter and bake as directed on package for cupcakes, following the reduced-fat directions. Cool in pans 10 min.; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

MEANWHILE, beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use.

FROST cupcakes with pudding mixture. Arrange 5 berry slices on top of each to resemble star; fill centers with blueberries. Keep refrigerated.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute 5 raspberries for each of the whole strawberries.

Shortcut

Use a metal 1/4 cup metal measuring cup or small ice cream scoop to easily transfer batter to paper-lined cups.

Make Ahead

Unfrosted cooled cupcakes can be stored in airtight container in freezer for up to 3 months. Frosting can be prepared, covered and stored in refrigerator up to 8 hours before spreading onto cupcakes.

I loved this recipe. I normally don't like whipped icing but this was very good and sweet. It didn't even taste whipped.
