Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the filling:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

For the whipped cream:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For garnish:

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Tip: Make sure the butter is fully melted to evenly coat the crumbs.

Spoon the crumb mixture into a muffin tin, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass to form mini pie crusts. Place the tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to set.

2. Make the Banana Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant banana cream pudding mix with cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.

Tip: Using cold milk helps the pudding set quickly.

3. Whip the Cream

In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

Tip: Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes before whipping the cream to achieve better results.

Fold half of the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture to create a light and airy texture.

4. Assemble the Mini Pies

Spoon the banana pudding mixture into the prepared graham cracker crusts, filling each one generously.

Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream.

Tip: Use a piping bag to add a professional touch when dolloping the whipped cream.

Finishing Touches

Arrange banana slices on top of each pie and drizzle with honey for an elegant finish. If desired, add a light sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.

Notes

  • Press Firmly: Ensure the graham cracker crust is packed tightly to avoid crumbling when removing the pies from the muffin tin.
  • Chill Time: Be patient and let the crust and filling chill adequately; this step is crucial for the pies to hold their shape.
  • Fresh Bananas: Add banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
