ELVIS MOON PIE

Steps:

• For the macaroons: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the peanuts and confectioners' sugar in a food processor and process until it reaches a flour consistency, about 5 minutes. Place the egg whites and granulated sugar in a stand mixer and whip until firm peaks form.
• Using a rubber spatula, slowly fold in the peanut/sugar mixture, one-third at a time, until fully incorporated, being careful not to let the mixture "drop." Pipe the batter using a piping bag or pastry bag onto the prepared baking sheets (six 3-inch rounds on each tray) about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown and nicely risen, 15 to 17 minutes. Let rest 20 minutes, and then remove the macaroons from the baking sheets.
• For the compote: Render the bacon in a saute pan over low heat until crispy and browned. Add the chopped bananas and cook while mashing. Then add the brown sugar, rum and lime juice, and continue to cook the mashed mixture until no liquid remains.
• For the marshmallow cream: Place the gelatin into the bowl of a stand mixer along with 1/2 cup of the water. Have the whisk attachment standing by.
• In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup water, the granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt. Place over medium-high heat, cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes. Once the mixture reaches this temperature, immediately remove from the heat.
• Turn the mixer on low speed and, while running, slowly pour the sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once you have added all of the syrup, increase the speed to high. Continue to whip until the mixture becomes very thick and is lukewarm, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the vanilla during the last minute of whipping.
• To assemble: Place one macaroon baked-side down. Add a scoop of the compote, about 3 tablespoons. Cover the compote with 1 tablespoon marshmallow whip. Using a hand torch, roast the marshmallow until browned. Top with another macaroon, baked-side up. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve.

TEHACHAPI MOON PIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, marshmallow cream, vanilla and orange zest with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
• Using a 2 1/2 to 3-inch biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, cut out the outside edge of each cookie to form clean smooth edges. You can use various size cutters to make different size cookies if desired.
• Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling on to the bottom of 6 cookies. Top with the remaining cookies and lightly press down so that the filling is pushed to the edge of the cookie.
• Place the sprinkles into a saucer and roll the sides of each moon pie into the sprinkles. Place on a serving dish.

BANANA CREAM PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Combine milk, banana pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix until smooth. Refrigerate banana filling at least 30 minutes before using.
• Combine milk, vanilla pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk in confectioners' sugar. Fold in whipped topping until no streaks remain. Refrigerate frosting for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• While filling and frosting are chilling, prepare the cupcake batter. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
• Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Alternate adding flour mixture, mashed bananas, and yogurt. Mix on low speed until just moistened; batter may be lumpy, but do not overmix. Fill 24 muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Place on a rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
• Use a paring knife to cut a small circle out of the top of each cooled cupcake. Fill with banana filling. Top each cupcake with vanilla frosting.

BANANA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a bun tin with 8 paper cases. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and sugar with a pinch of salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg, melted butter and milk for 20 secs; add the mashed banana and beat for a further 5 secs until everything is nicely mixed.
• Pour the banana mix into the flour and fold everything together. Once it is almost combined, add 85g of the white chocolate - the mixture will still look a little lumpy. Spoon the cake mix into the paper cases and bake for 18-20 mins until golden and risen, and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining white chocolate over a pan of barely simmering water. Allow to cool a bit, then spread on top of the cakes. Add a couple of slices of banana and sprinkle with cinnamon.
