Ok so let me just tell you how much I love moscato wine. Yes it's sweet, maybe too sweet for pretty much anybody that loves wine some of you, but it's my absolute favorite and it's literally all my girlfriends and I ever drink. Now, let me just tell you how excited I was to find out Skinnygirl Cocktails just launched their brand new product - moscato wine.
Ummm YES!!
I literally had a mini dance party when I found out this news. So as Skinnygirl's newest insider and recipe developer and because wine and girls nights pretty much go hand in hand, I thought I'd make cupcakes to celebrate this glorious event. Moscato cupcakes to be exact...seriously who doesn't love boozy desserts??
Now I'm totally going to have some haters on this recipe...I'm not saying these are going to make you skinny or help you lose weight, because they're NOT and they're definitely not made from scratch, because I'm LAZY. But these are oh so simple and have substitutions that make them much lighter in calories for you ladies to enjoy because well a cupcake a day won't kill you.
In fact, they might even make you a happier person in general.
Just sayin.

Here are your ingredients:
1 box of your favorite strawberry cake mix
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/3 cup Skinnygirl Moscato
3 eggs
1 (16 oz) container of sugar-free vanilla frosting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together strawberry cake mix, yogurt, wine and eggs together in a large bowl for about 3 minutes until nice and smooth. Spoon batter into 24 cupcake liners and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely then pipe on vanilla icing. Feel free to mix the icing with a drop or 2 of red food coloring to create a light pink color. Enjoy!
These might just have to become cake pops.
What do you think??

Those sound amazing!
WOOHOO, I knew I saw a Eat yourself SKinny post on skinnygirl during the super bowl timeframe!
WAY TO GO KELLY!
I'm certainly not hating on this recipe! It's easy, skinnier than most cupcakes, and has booze in it. Don't see how anyone could hate! Plus they are really pretty. :)
I am actually AFRAID to make these! They look soooo good!
I made strawberry champagne cupcakes for New Years! These look amazing! Thanks Kelly for sharing!
Love Moscato wine! It's one of my favorites and incorporating it into cupcakes is such a wonderful idea!!
These are so pretty! I too love moscato (it is my #2 wine behind riesling) and think it would taste amazing in a strawberry cupcake. Hates gonna hate, but these look delicious!
YUM! And they're pretty to boot. Love it.
These are so pretty and sound delicious!!
I WANT TO TRY THESE!!! OMG! Pink + Moscato + cupcakes = heaven! :)
Definitely making these for Easter! And I feel ya...there's no need to make things totally from scratch anymore. Any recipe that's simple and cuts calories is awesome in my book!

OMG! Thank you. I am in LOVE with Moscato. Cupcake Moscato is my favorite since it has a little bubbly as well... Can't wait to try this with regular moscato, pink moscato and a little bit of the bubbly... thank goodness I have a ginormous family with tons of birthdays and summer get togethers! These will surely be a hit! :-)
I've made cupcake with sparkling wine before but never with Moscato...And never with SkinnyGirl mocsacto.
SO. HAPPY!!!!!!!
Kelly,
Where do you find sugar free icing?
Thanks,
Leah
I've always kind of been interested in making a boozy dessert, and this one seems pretty perfect for a first try.
Next time I have a little girls night, I'm gonna have to remind myself to try these!
They look so yummy, plus who doesn't love Moscato! I love it!
These are SO girly and cute, Kelly! And are you kidding, I love making cupcakes with cake mix - so much faster! Yummy idea adding the Moscato wine, too. What brand makes a sugar-free frosting?
Thanks so much! Pilsbury actually makes sugar-free frosting and I found it at my local grocery store :)
Very pretty! I love moscato wine too, it's one of my favorites! I also love strawberry so I know I'll love these!
oh my goodness! these could not be more beautiful. yes i need this in my life.
1.) You're killing me because I gave up baked sweets for lent :-(
2.) I reallllllly want to lick my computer screen right now.
3.) Don't judge, please
What pretty cupcakes! Moscato wine is something that's fun to drink on a hot summer's evening.
They sound delicious!

I LOVE how the icing looks, both the color and the design! I so want to make these for my bffs baby shower, if it turns out to be a girl, but I don`t know if I can pull it off- how did you get the icing to look so wonderful?

You seriously just made my life...I had no idea SkinnyGirl had Moscato now!!!! *eek* Happy dance!
Moscato is one of the few white wines I like. Great idea to put it in cupcakes!

What a great recipe!!!
Yeah!!!!!!! So glad I'm not the only one on the Moscato train!! There's not much else that's better than a girls night, sweets and a sweet drink to accompany. Thanks for the recipe! I can't wait to try it out :)
And the newest addition to skinny girl's wine list too!
They look absolutely gorgeous :) and im sure they taste delish!
Oooo make them cake pops for sure!!!
ooh girl I love it! Such pretty cupcakes too! I haven't had Moscato wine, and I since I'm having a girls' night soon, I must try some.
These are so pretty! I'm usually in the Moscato is too sweet camp, but in a cupcake sweet is always a great thing. How perfect for the first day of spring are these?!
So cute!! I love your photos!
Such pretty cupcakes! (Oh and I'm a Moscato lover too!)
These would be so pretty for Mother's Day!
So pretty!! These are awesome!!
Girl!! I Love Moscato!! These cupcakes are too cute!
These are truly amazing, Kelly! I can't believe how simple they are. So pretty!
MOSCATO IS MY FAVORITE TOO!! And there is pink moscato (though not Skinnygirl...yet...) and I think the light pink hue would make these amazing as well :)
I love me some moscato!! It's like wine and cake in one! ;-)
Those cupcakes are beyond beautiful!
I cannot get over how pretty these are! And what a seriously awesome ingredients list!
I am sorry.. but do you mix the cake mix first? lol.. Or just add the cake mix dry and then mix in the other ingredients?
#not a baker but these look amazing.
Hello!
these look amazing. Do you add the cake mix dry? and then mix in the other ingredients?
I am not a baker.. these look like something I want to try though..
:)
Dana, nope! You can mix them all at the same time - easy, peasy! :)
Did you know that if you used a sparkling wine or champagne all you need is the dry cake mix + the bubbly? It makes the cupcakes without the eggs or oil or anything like that, it's like magic!! :)
It looks so delish!
WOW Kelly - these cupcakes look amazing!!!
I looooove Moscato too!! People always say it's too sweet, but that's exactly how I like my wine :)
kelly, i LOVE this! moscato is one of my faves, and it's super cheap here in italia, win! :) can't wait to make these for my girlfriends very soon!
These are so pretty! Love the pretty pink! And I love my wine like juice. Haha these are just my thing!
How delicious! Moscato is one of my favorites as well. I used to just like Asti Spumante but Moscato is divine. And with cupcakes?? Mmmm. Have you tried Iced Wine? It's served chilled and is even sweeter :)
Im so pumped about making these tonight!!! Wine + cupcakes = me one happy girl :)
These Look divine. YUMMERS!! Is there any way to make this recipe without eggs?
Kelly, these cupcakes are absolutely adorable!
Um my favorite wine with my favorite dessert...I am SO glad I found you
Wow looks delish, you should publish a cook book!
MMMmmm!! They are healthy and pretty!
seriously beautiful pink frosting you have there....what kind of food coloring you used? I want to have like the exact soft pink color like you have on your cupcakes...
These look absolutely fantastic!
