Description

These Strawberry Banana Frozen Yogurt Cupcakes are a refreshing and healthy dessert perfect for warm days. Combining the natural sweetness of frozen bananas, creamy strawberry yogurt, and crunchy vanilla wafers, this no-bake treat is both easy to prepare and delicious. Finished with a homemade whipped cream topping and optional fresh strawberry slices for an elegant presentation, these cupcakes freeze perfectly for a cool, guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Base

  • 8 vanilla wafers
  • 1 large banana, sliced and frozen
  • 6 oz Yoplait Original Strawberry yogurt
  • Strawberry slices, optional

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cupcake liners: Line a cupcake pan with 4 cupcake liners to serve as molds for your frozen yogurt cupcakes.
  2. Create the base layer: Break the vanilla wafers into small pieces and evenly distribute them into the bottom of each cupcake liner, creating a crunchy foundation for the cupcakes.
  3. Make the yogurt banana puree: Combine the frozen banana slices and strawberry yogurt in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, forming a creamy base for the cupcakes.
  4. Assemble the cupcakes: Spoon the yogurt banana puree evenly over the crushed wafers in each liner. Optionally, place a few fresh strawberry slices on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Freeze the cupcakes: Place the cupcake pan in the freezer. Allow the cupcakes to freeze until firm, typically 4-5 hours or overnight, ensuring they hold their shape.
  6. Make the whipped cream topping: In a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy topping.
  7. Decorate the cupcakes: Remove the cupcakes from the freezer and gently peel away the liners. Pipe swirls of whipped cream onto each cupcake and garnish with additional fresh strawberry slices for an attractive finish.
  8. Store and serve: These cupcakes can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the freezer with or without whipped cream for 7-10 days. Serve cold for a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture in the puree.
  • Vanilla wafers provide a crunchy base; substitute with graham crackers if preferred.
  • For the best whipped cream, ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping.
  • Adjust sweetness by using flavored yogurt or adding more powdered sugar to whipped cream if desired.
  • Serve directly from the freezer to maintain the frozen yogurt cupcake consistency.
  • These cupcakes are best consumed within 10 days of freezing for optimal freshness and taste.
