Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
Topping and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Craft a delectable graham cracker foundation by blending crumbs with melted butter and sugar, pressing the mixture firmly into muffin tin cavities to form compact mini crusts. Refrigerate for 60 minutes to solidify the base.
- Whisk banana cream pudding mix into chilled milk, stirring vigorously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, thick consistency. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to enhance the pudding’s texture.
- Prepare a luxurious whipped cream by beating heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until peaks stand tall and firm. Gently incorporate half of the whipped cream into the chilled pudding, creating a light and airy filling.
- Carefully spoon the creamy pudding mixture into the pre-chilled graham cracker crusts, ensuring an even distribution and elegant presentation.
- Crown each mini pie with a lavish dollop of remaining whipped cream. Artfully garnish with delicate banana slices and a gentle drizzle of golden honey for a touch of sweetness.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or return to the refrigerator for an extra-cool dessert experience that will delight taste buds.
Notes
- Crush graham crackers finely for a smoother, more compact crust that holds together perfectly without crumbling.
- Replace regular milk with almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version that maintains the creamy texture.
- Freeze banana slices before garnishing to prevent browning and add a refreshing touch to the mini pies.
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for a more intense, natural sweetness in the pudding mixture.
