Bananas Foster Cookie Cups

This dessert will have you weak in the knees. There’s so many flavors and textures going on in one bite that there’s simply no describing. You need to try it for yourself and see what I am talking about. The cookie cup is crispy and chewy, the rice pudding is creamy and the bananas foster gives off tons of homey flavor and sweetness. I top it off with a bit of whipped topping and cinnamon.

The only downside about these Bananas Foster Cookie Cups is that you can’t eat just one. Maybe you will stop at 2 or 3.. Maybe..  So you better get your apron on and start cooking. Don’t worry these sweet treats are super easy to make and will not leave a mess in the kitchen.

So let’s go step by step on how to make these cookie cups: First I start out with refrigerated sugar cookie dough. I divide it into equal pieces and roll them into balls. Finally place them on a mini muffin pan to bake in a preheated oven.

After they bake for a few minutes and get golden. I remove them from the oven and poke the center with the end of a wooden spoon. Be careful no to press all the way to the bottom.

Let these guys cool and then refrigerate before removing from the muffin tin. This will make it easier to unmold. See how cute they look?

Now these are ready to be filled with anything you want. Even ice cream! I chose something that I truly love: Kozy Shack® Rice Pudding. It’s sweet, creamy and oh so delicious. It reminds me of the rice pudding my mom used to make when I was a little girl in Venezuela. There’s even a famous song I used to sing: “Arroz con Leche me quiero casar…..” The perfect song to sing on National Rice Pudding Day, August 9.

You can stop the recipe at this point and leave your rice pudding filled cookie cups. But I decided to take it one step further by adding a delicious and easy to make Bananas Foster. Don’t worry! It’s kid friendly and rum free (I only used Rum extract).

Now finish of with whipped topping on top and a dusting of cinnamon. Wasn’t that super easy? I am sure this will impress your family and friends. My husband took a bite out of one, paused, sighed and said mmmmm.. In him that’s a sign of enjoyment and deliciousness. 🙂

I hope you can try these delicious Bananas Foster Cookie Cups at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
