You don't even have to turn on the oven for these easy cupcakes.

Just slice a pound cake, fitting each round piece into a cupcake or muffin liner. Then make a sweet frosting out of sweetened condensed milk, frozen lemonade, Cool Whip and lemon zest.

Consider making these as a fun treat for a swim party, summer birthday party or picnic – basically anywhere where you need a dessert that will help you stay cool.

Frozen Lemonade Cupcakes

Makes 18 cupcakes

1 (14-ounce) can (14 ounces) Nestle Carnation sweetened condensed milk
1 (6-ounce) container frozen lemonade or limeade concentrate (about 2/3 cup), partially thawed
1 (12 ounces) tub light Cool Whip, thawed
1 (10.75 ounces) frozen reduced-fat pound cake
Grated lemon peel (optional)

1. Place paper liners in 18 muffin cups.

2. Cut pound cake into 18 slices. Using 1 3/4 inch-round cookie cutter or appropriate size to fit into paper liners, cut slices into rounds (discard cake scraps or save for another use). Place cake rounds into paper liners.

3. Combine sweetened condensed milk and lemonade concentrate in large bowl; stir well. Stir a large spoonful of whipped topping into mixture. Fold in remaining whipped topping. Spoon evenly into liners. Freeze for 2 hours. Cover; freeze for several hours or overnight before serving. Garnish with lemon peel.
