Banana dough with chocolate pieces and banana topping, for 12 pieces

Preheat the oven to 175°C (top and bottom heat) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper baking cups. Batter: Beat the heavy cream with a mixer until light and fluffy, then add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar and beat again until fluffy. Mix the flour with the baking powder and chocolate chips. Cut the banana into pieces and puree with a hand blender along with the lemon juice and softened butter. Fold in the cream and egg mixture and the flour mixture and beat briefly again. The batter should now be nice and soft, light and fluffy. Fill the muffins with a tablespoon and bake for 30 minutes. When the surface is very light brown (use a skewer to test it). Remove from the oven, let stand for a moment, then remove from the tin and let cool completely. Topping: Mix 50 ml of banana juice with the cornstarch or pudding mix and 2 tablespoons of sugar until smooth. Bring the remaining juice to a boil and stir in the cornstarch. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. The butter should also be at room temperature. Beat the cooled pudding with a mixer, then stir in the softened butter and mix well. Briefly stir in the powdered sugar and double cream cheese or mascarpone. Let the topping cool briefly, if necessary, then spread it over the dough. Decorate with toasted banana slices and chocolate sprinkles.
