Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes *for 4
Ingredients
1 Bowl Vanilla Cupcake Base *recipe from How Sweet It Is
2 egg whites
4 tbs sugar
4 tbs melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
3 tbs milk
2 graham crackers
1 tbs melted butter
1/2 package of instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbs powdered sugar
1 banana
Recipe: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the egg whites and sugar together. Whisk in the butter and vanilla until well combined. Gradually whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to scrape the sides and get all the dry bits on the side incorporated. Slowly mix in the milk.
Crush the graham crackers and mix them with the melted butter. Spoon enough of the mixture into each cupcake liner to coat the bottom and press down. Pour the cupcake batter on top, so it is 3/4 way full. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown and a tester inserted comes out clean. Cool.
While the cupcakes are cooking, combine the pudding mix and milk in a microwave proof bowl. Heat on high for 6 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes. After 6 minutes cover it with plastic wrap and put in fridge to cool.
In a bowl fitted with an electric mixer combine the heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar. Beat on high for 6 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
Assembly: Make sure the cupcakes are totally cooled. Using a knife, make an incision in the center and cut a cylinder shaped hole, and hollow it out. Slice the banana into thin slices. Stuff one of these slices in the bottom of the hole:
spoon some vanilla pudding on top of the banana slice
Pipe fresh whipped cream onto of the hole and entire cupcake and top with another fresh banana.
so take a look at THAT. You have your graham cracker base, some cake, some creamy pudding filling with fresh bananas, and a mountain of whipped cream. Not bad.
this is what love looks like.
