Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly moistened.
- Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of each cup in a standard 12 cup muffin tin.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- Whisk the banana pudding mix and cold milk in a medium bowl for 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and airy.
- Spoon or pipe this filling into the chilled crusts, filling each nearly to the top.
- Add a dollop of the remaining whipped cream over each pie.
- Arrange a few banana slices on top and finish with a light drizzle of honey, if desired.
Serving and Storage
- Serve chilled, arranging them on a colorful platter.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- If needed to hold longer, reserve sliced bananas and whipped cream separately; assemble within 24 hours for the freshest look and texture.
Notes
Press the crust firmly and evenly for a clean, portable mini pie. Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushy slices. Chill the crusts long enough (at least 1 hour) so the filling won’t seep into crumbs.
