Description

These No-Bake Mini Banana Cream Pies are delightful individual desserts featuring a crisp graham cracker crust, creamy banana-flavored filling, and topped with fresh banana slices and whipped cream. Perfect for a quick, elegant treat that requires no baking and can be prepared ahead of time.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Banana Cream Filling

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined to create the crust base.
  2. Form mini pie crusts: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin to create mini pie crusts. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the crusts to set and firm up.
  3. Make banana pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant banana cream pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens. Chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to further set.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
  5. Combine filling: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chilled banana pudding mixture to lighten the filling and incorporate air.
  6. Fill the crusts: Spoon the banana cream filling into the chilled mini pie crusts evenly.
  7. Add topping: Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream for added creaminess and decoration.
  8. Garnish and serve: Decorate each mini pie with banana slices and drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness and visual appeal. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Refrigerate the mini pies for at least an hour before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
  • These mini pies can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or caramel sauce for variation.
  • Handle the whipped cream gently to maintain its fluffy texture when folding into the pudding mixture.
