2. Combine all cupcake ingredients in large mixing bowl. Blend with electric mixer until moistened. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Cool completely on wire rack. Then refrigerate until ready to frost. (I recommend at least 1-2 hours) Remove from refrigerator and frost. Refrigerate in covered container until ready to serve. Store any leftover cupcakes in covered container in refrigerator. Makes 24 cupcakes. (These can be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated up to 48 hours).
4. PLEASE READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING THIS RECIPE... FROSTING: Whip cream cheese with pineapple in medium bowl. using electric mixer on low speed for about a minute. Add dry pudding mix and continue to mix well. Gently STIR in Cool Whip. (Don't use mixer for this step). Refrigerate frosting at least 1 - 2 hours. Pipe frosting on cold cupcakes and refrigerate in covered container until ready to serve. Garnish or decorate as desired and serve.
