202. With a couple of over ripe bananas and a craving for something sweet and yummy, I decided to make Banana Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Filling.
My recipe is developed from several different recipes but the key is the Chobani Greek Yogurt. It adds such great texture and delicious flavor.
Banana Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Filling
1 stick butter, 1/2 cup
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 over ripe bananas
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
6 oz Chobani Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup milk
Cream butter and brown sugar till pale, about 3 minutes. Add bananas, egg and vanilla. Blend together well. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Blend together yogurt and milk in a separate bowl. Alternate adding flour then liquids twice till all ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool.
Filling:
1 8oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
5 cups confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
milk, add as desired to achieve right consistency of filling
Mix all together till smooth. Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Assemble cookies by matching cookies that are the same size. Pipe a generous amount of filling onto bottom of one cookie and top with another.
