Ingredients
Scale
Base and Filling
- 8 vanilla wafers
- 1 large banana, sliced and frozen
- 6 oz Yoplait Original Strawberry yogurt
- Strawberry slices, optional
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare cupcake liners and base: Line a cupcake pan with 4 cupcake liners. Break vanilla wafers into pieces and place them evenly into the bottom of each liner.
- Make the frozen yogurt filling: In a food processor, combine the frozen banana slices and strawberry yogurt. Puree until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble cupcakes: Spoon the yogurt and banana puree over the vanilla wafer pieces in the cupcake liners. Optionally, place a few strawberry slices on top for extra flavor and decoration.
- Freeze the cupcakes: Place the cupcake pan in the freezer and allow the cupcakes to freeze until firm, about 4-5 hours or overnight.
- Prepare whipped cream topping (optional): In a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
- Decorate cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are frozen and firm, pipe swirls of whipped cream on top and garnish with an additional strawberry slice if desired.
- Storage: The finished cupcakes, whether topped with whipped cream or plain, can be stored in the freezer for 7-10 days.
Notes
- Use frozen banana slices to achieve the best creamy texture.
- The vanilla wafers add a crunchy base contrast to the creamy filling.
- You can prepare cupcakes in advance and keep them frozen for up to 10 days.
- The whipped cream topping is optional but adds a luxurious layer to the cupcakes.
- If you don’t have a food processor, a high-speed blender can work as an alternative for pureeing.
