Instructions
Makes 26 pieces (or 52 halves).
- In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese and the pureed banana until homogeneous. Set everything aside.
- Beat the lard with the two kinds of sugar into a fluffy cream for 2–3 min., add the egg and the rum essence and beat for another 2 min. To the resulting homogeneous mixture add the dry ingredients (in 3 parts) and the banana mixture (in 2 parts), alternating them.
- Transfer the finished mixture into a piping bag and pipe cookies 5 cm in diameter onto silicone mats or baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 8–10 min. Let the finished cookies cool completely (about 20 min.), then pair them two by two.
- Make the cream: in a bowl combine all the ingredients and, using a whisk, beat until smooth. Transfer the finished cream into a piping bag. Pipe cream onto one half of the cookie and sandwich with the other half.
