Instructions

1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into cupcake liners placed in a muffin tin to form the crust.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.

2. Make the Banana Cream Filling:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant banana cream pudding mix and cold milk. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens (about 2 minutes).
Set the pudding aside.

3. Prepare the Whipped Cream:

In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Use an electric mixer to beat the cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.

4. Assemble the Mini Pies:

Remove the crusts from the refrigerator.
Add a spoonful of banana cream filling to each crust. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon.
Place one or two banana slices on top of the filling.

5. Add Whipped Cream and Garnish:

Pipe or spoon a dollop of whipped cream onto each pie.
Optional: Drizzle honey over the whipped cream for added sweetness.

6. Chill and Serve:

Cover the pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Serve cold and enjoy these creamy, delicious mini pies!

Notes

Use Ripe Bananas: Ripe bananas enhance the flavor and sweetness of the pies.
Chill for Best Results: Let the pies chill fully before serving to ensure the flavors meld and the pies hold their shape.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the crust and filling a day ahead, but add the banana slices and whipped cream just before serving.
Custom Variations: Swap banana cream pudding for vanilla or chocolate pudding for a fun twist!
