Instructions

  1. Sugar Cookie Cups: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray with FLOUR or butter and grease the tin. Cut cookie dough into 12 even slices and press into the bottom and about 2/3 up the sides of prepared muffin cups.
  2. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until edges are barely golden. Let cool completely in muffin tin then remove by gently sliding a knife around the edges.
  3. Banana Coconut Cream Filling: Whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons sugar together in medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Add coconut milk, whole milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, shredded coconut and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Slowly whisk 1 cup of simmering coconut milk mixture into yolk mixture (to temper), then slowly whisk tempered yolk mixture back into remaining coconut milk mixture. Reduce heat to medium and cook, whisking vigorously, until mixture is thickened, about 30 seconds. Off heat, whisk in butter and vanilla. Let coconut cream cool until just warm, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
  5. Once coconut cream has cooled to warm, add 1 teaspoon to each cookie cup. Top this coconut cream with approximately 3 banana slices per cookie cup. Top bananas evenly with remaining coconut cream. Chill for at least 4 hours (24 is better for flavors to meld).
  6. Coconut Whipped Cream: When ready to serve, prepare Coconut Whipped Cream by beating heavy cream, sugar and coconut extract at medium high speed until soft peaks form. Top each banana cream cookie cup with whipped cream, toasted coconut, coconut caramel and mini chocolate chips (optional)
