1

Steps
1 Heat oven to 375°F. Place paper baking cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2 In large bowl, beat Cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Scrape down side of bowl; beat 1 to 2 minutes longer. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
3 Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 40 minutes.
4 To serve, peel away sides of paper baking cups from completely cooled cupcakes. Using serrated knife, cut small divot of cake out of top of each cupcake. Place 1 scoop of ice cream (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) on top of each cupcake so that scoop is resting inside divot. Top each scoop of ice cream with 1 tablespoon coconut.
5 In medium bowl, stir together Sauce ingredients until well combined. Spoon over cupcakes. Garnish each cupcake with cherry. Serve immediately.
