Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350º with oven rack in middle of oven. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and use a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to mix them together.
  • With mixer on medium speed, add butter, sour cream. egg, egg yolks, and vanilla. Beat for 30 seconds, until smooth and satiny.
  • Remove mixing bowl from mixer and using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and make sure batter is mixed evenly.
  • Divide batter equally among muffin cups and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool before proceeding.
  • Using a spoon or your fingers, create a hollowed out portion in each cupcake like you would to make a bread bowl, but being careful to leave a layer of cupcake all the way across the bottom.
  • Sprinkle some vanilla wafer crumbs at the bottom of each cupcake “bowl”.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl at least once.
  • Add milk, vanilla extract, and pudding mix and beat until mixed together well. Stir in bananas by hand. Immediately spoon into cupcakes.
  • Spoon pudding mixture into the holes with enough extra so you can create a layer of pudding spread across the top of the cupcake.
  • Use an offset spatula or a pastry bag fitted with a large tip to add whipped topping on top of the pudding mixture. Garnish with a whole vanilla wafer and more crumbs if desired.
