Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling

  • 2 small bananas, sliced
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped (or use whipped topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping (Optional)

  • Crushed graham crackers or banana slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly combined. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cavity of a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners or into mini tart pans. Press firmly to form compact crusts. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. This ensures a smooth, creamy filling.
  3. Prepare the whipped cream mixture: In another bowl, gently fold the vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Then carefully fold half of the whipped cream into the thickened pudding to lighten it and add creaminess.
  4. Assemble the pies: Remove the chilled crusts from the refrigerator. Add a layer of sliced bananas to each crust, then spoon the pudding mixture over the banana layer, smoothing the tops evenly.
  5. Add the topping: Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with crushed graham crackers or additional banana slices if desired.
  6. Chill before serving: Place the assembled mini pies in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and for the pies to set perfectly. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use mini tart shells or ramekins for a more polished and elegant presentation.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with non-dairy pudding mix, plant-based milk, and coconut whipped topping.
  • Best enjoyed the same day for optimal texture, as the crust may soften if stored too long.
