Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until well combined.
- Form the mini pie crusts: Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin, forming mini pie crusts. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the crust to set.
- Make the pudding filling: Whisk together the instant banana cream pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to thicken.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Combine the pudding and whipped cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the pies: Spoon the banana pudding mixture into the chilled pie crusts.
- Top and garnish: Add a dollop of the remaining whipped cream on top of each mini pie. Garnish with banana slices and drizzle with honey.
Notes
- You can use store-bought mini graham cracker crusts as an alternative to making your own crust.
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for maximum flavor.
- You can chill the pies overnight for an even firmer texture.
- You can substitute the whipped cream with a non-dairy whipped topping if you’re looking for a dairy-free version.
