I’ve made these twice already. My super-picky kids (6 & 3) really liked them.

Thanks Sara. You should try the strawberry milk and blueberry milk too.

Sure Aashi, it’s

INCREDIBLY IMPROVED ICING
White Icing — Makes about 3/4 cup
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Mix dry milk and powdered sugar in a bowl, then add the boiling water and vanilla extract. Mix very well. If needed, add a little more water, half a teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Chocolate Icing – Makes about 3/4 cup
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mix dry milk, powdered sugar, and cocoa in a bowl, then add the boiling water and vanilla extract. Mix very well. If needed, add a little more water, half a teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

For the purple color icing follow the same steps as above, but use warm blueberry juice (or store bought pom juice) instead. I also did not follow the exact measurements because I did not want so much icing. If I remember right, I think I scaled everything to 1/4th of the given measurement.

Lovely cupcakes, Madhuram! Pureeing spinach and collard into this – amazing! The chocolate sprinkles look delightful. I saw that comment – I too cannot really make out what my son likes. He grows out of taste so soon Daughter is more predictable – there is nothing she doesn’t like

Even the icing is a healthy one SM. It’s made of non fat dry milk powder and blueberry juice for the purple icing and plain water for the white icing.

Hehe..score one for mom!
I bet you’re saying “gotcha!” That’s what I do in my mind when I get them to eat something they don’t like!
