Preheat the oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake/muffin pan with paper liners.

Prepare the Cupcake Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream and powdered sugar and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.

   

2. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. This will take about 4-5 minutes.

   

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

   

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

   

5. Transfer the batter to a bowl and add green food coloring until you get the desired grinchy green color.

   

Fill Cupcake Liners and bake

1. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

   

Prepare the Frosting

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar, and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.

   

Frost the Cupcakes and serve

1. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.

   

2. Serve

   Arrange the Grinch cupcakes on a plate and serve. Watch as your guests delight in these whimsical and delicious treats!
