This irresistible dessert combines a creamy banana custard filling, fresh bananas, and a graham cracker crust, all crowned with whipped cream for a perfect bite-sized indulgence.
The Key Components
The Crust:
The base is a sweet and slightly crunchy graham cracker crust.
- Made by blending crushed graham crackers with melted butter and a hint of sugar, then pressing the mixture into cupcake liners and baking briefly to set.

The heart of the cupcake is a luscious banana cream filling.
- This is prepared using a rich, homemade custard made with milk, sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
- Once the custard is cooled, it is folded with fresh banana slices to enhance the flavor.
The Topping:
A generous layer of whipped cream completes the dessert.
