Instructions:
To make the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C/Gas Mark 4, and make a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- Whisk sugar and butter until light and fluffy (around 2-3 minutes).
- Add vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Put egg and egg white in two batches, whipping until combined after each.
- In another bowl, mix dry ingredients then combine mashed bananas, water, and milk.
- Add ½ of the dry ingredients to the mixture and combine.
- Put the milk and banana mix and combine until well incorporated.
- Place the remaining dry ingredients and combine until well incorporated.
- Fill cupcake liners around ¾. Bake for 20 minutes (or until a tester inserted comes out with some crumbs).
- Remove and let cool.
To make the filling:
- In a large saucepan, add milk, cornstarch, and sugar and mix until smooth.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the mix starts to thicken and bubble.
- Decrease heat to medium-low and simmer for around 2 minutes then remove. Apply a little bit of milk mix to the egg yolk and beat together, then put egg mix to milk mix.
- Apply pan back on the heat and bring to a boil; stirring continuously – let boil for around 2 minutes.
- Remove and add vanilla and butter. Stir until smooth; set aside to cool at room temperature.
- When cooled, whisk the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the whipped cream inside the cream filling.
To make the frosting:
- Whisk shortening and butter together until smooth. Apply ½ of the powdered sugar and combine until smooth.
- Apply the vanilla extract, 5 tablespoons heavy cream, and banana chip crumbs and mix until smooth.
- Place the remaining sugar and combine until smooth.
- Apply the remaining heavy cream, if necessary and combine until smooth.
To assemble the cupcakes:
- Using a knife or a cupcake corer, cut the core out of the cupcakes. Spoon off the cream filling and fill the holes with it.
- Pipe frosting onto the cupcakes. To decorate, top with a banana chip and refrigerate.
- Cupcakes are best for 2 to 3 days.
Enjoy!
