Note

  • I usually use paper muffin cups to make these little frozen cupcakes, but some time ago, I bought silicone baking cups, and I think they are perfect for this recipe and make the sweets look prettier.
  • As I like my treats not too sweet, I did not add any sweetener, but if you want them sweeter, you may add any sweetener of your choice into the coconut cream, like agave syrup, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
  • If the frozen cupcakes are too frozen, defrost in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating.
