Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs Crisp and slightly sweet, providing the perfect foundation.
  • 1/2 cup melted butter Adds richness and binds the crumbs together.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Elevates the sweetness of the crust.
For the Filling
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix Provides banana flavor and creamy texture.
  • 2 cups cold milk Essential for creating a smooth pudding.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whipped to light perfection.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Sweetens the whipped cream.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 2 ripe bananas sliced Adds flavor and visual appeal.
  • Whipped cream, for topping Completes the pie.
  • Honey, for drizzling Adds a touch of floral sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. This mixture should resemble wet sand.
  2. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of mini tart pans or muffin tins to form crusts. Ensure the crusts are packed tightly, then set aside to firm up.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the banana cream pudding mix by whisking together the pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  4. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture until smooth and well combined.
  6. Spoon the banana cream filling into the prepared crusts, filling each one to the top.
  7. Arrange the banana slices on top of the filling and finish with a dollop of whipped cream, drizzling a little honey over for sweetness.
  8. Refrigerate the mini pies for at least 2 hours or until set.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Use ripe bananas for added sweetness and flavor. Feel free to customize toppings.
