Pina Colada Cupcakes

Pina colada is one of my favorite flavors and it's wonderful in cupcake form!  Even better, it's low fat.

Ingredients:
cupcakes:
2 cups moist style yellow cake mix
12 oz canned crushed pineapple in juice
1/2 tsp coconut extract
optional: 3/4 cup shredded coconut

icing:
4 oz canned crushed pineapple, drained
1 sugar free vanilla pudding snack size
1/8 tsp coconut extract
1  1/2 TBS light cream cheese
1 sweetener packet like splenda

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix all icing ingredients together and refrigerate until needed.
In large bowl combine cake mix, undrained pineapple and coconut extract.  Line a muffin tin with baking cups and distribute batter evenly.  Bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Allow to completely cool, then frost and enjoy!
