No-Bake Mini Banana Cream Pies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust
    In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Form the Mini Crusts
    Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms of a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners or into small dessert cups. Place in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Make the Pudding Filling
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thick.
  4. Whip the Cream
    In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  5. Combine the Filling
    Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture to make it extra light and creamy.
  6. Assemble the Mini Pies
    Place a few banana slices over the chilled crusts. Spoon the banana pudding mixture on top until each mini pie is filled.
  7. Add the Topping
    Top each pie with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Add a banana slice on top for decoration.
  8. Chill Before Serving
    Refrigerate the mini pies for 1–2 hours so they set properly and the flavors blend together.
