Description

Delightful no-bake mini banana cream pies with a crunchy graham cracker crust and creamy banana filling.


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

  1. Prepare the Pie Crusts: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir well until fully incorporated.
  2. Form the Crusts: Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin to create mini pie crusts. Ensure the crusts are packed evenly.
  3. Chill the Crusts: Refrigerate the crusts for at least 60 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
  4. Prepare the Banana Pudding Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant banana cream pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to let it firm up further.
  5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes with a hand mixer.
  6. Combine Whipped Cream and Pudding: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  7. Assemble the Pies: Spoon the banana pudding mixture into the chilled graham cracker crusts, filling each one generously.
  8. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of the remaining whipped cream on top of each mini pie for a fluffy finish.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each pie with banana slices and a light drizzle of honey. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a touch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crust. Ensure heavy cream is cold for better results.
