These gluten free lemon curd stuffed coconut cupcakes are a delicious treat that my son loved.

You may ask why I say my son loved these. I created these gluten free coconut cupcakes for my lunch group, Ladies Who Lunch. I try to attend at least once a month, and I was so excited to try out a new dessert recipe on the ladies. I even tried to be nice and I purposefully left 3 extra, one for Mr. Fearless Dining and each child on the kitchen counter.

At least that was how it was supposed to work.

It was a Wednesday, and that is early dismissal day at school. My son came home and promptly ate two of the cupcakes….and part of the third. I couldn’t believe he did that :-).

You have to understand, I am not the type to limit what he eats. He eats really well (and often!) and is as skinny as a rail. But he stepped over an invisible line when he ate his sister’s cupcake.

I didn’t expect him to devour all of the gluten free cupcakes. When his sister came home from school, she was so mad. She did get her revenge by buying a box of gluten free girl scout cookies (with her own money) and then ate them in front of her brother. I did try to tell her to be the bigger person and share, but it didn’t go very well. TEENAGERS!!

My kids are funny that way.

We hope you like these gluten free lemon curd stuffed coconut cupcakes as much as my son did!

These gluten free coconut cupcakes are moist and delicious. Lemon and coconut flavors combine in every bite :-).

Have you seen this fun new kitchen gadget? It lets you easily scoop out the middle of a cupcake to add a filling. It  was an add on item at Amazon for about $4 so I decided to give it a try.

I removed the middles and filled these coconut cupcakes with a delicious lemon curd I found at Trader Joe’s. You can also make your own with this easy homemade lemon curd recipe.

Top with frosting and these are hard to resist!!

Do you have that favorite kid snack that makes your kids do funny things like this?
