When I think of summertime, and more specifically summertime desserts, things like Banana Pudding, or Banana Cream Pie pop into my head. Well, I've already made Banana Pudding several times this summer. It's one of my favorite desserts. So when a couple of local bakeries starting advertising Banana Cream Pie cupcakes, I wanted to run and go get myself some. Well, life gets busy and that never happened. So finally, I thought, I'm just gonna get the ingredients to make them on my next grocery run. And then finally today, I got to make them!! Each bakery seems to make them a little different, so I think how exactly you want to make them is up to you. I finally decided on the following combination: banana cupcake, vanilla filling, and banana buttercream icing. I crumbled vanilla wafers on top and then garnished the top with half of a vanilla wafer as well.
You can totally make these your own by making your own vanilla or banana cupcakes, a vanilla or banana filling (you can just use pudding to keep it super simple), and then banana or regular buttercream icing. If you aren't crazy about banana I would pick only one part of the cupcake to be banana, so the banana flavor is not too overpowering.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July celebrating with family and friends and being ever so thankful we live in freedom!!
xoxo,
Katie
