No-Bake Mini Banana Cream Pie


Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Crushed graham crackers or wafer cookies, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust:
    In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined.
  2. Assemble the crusts:
    Press about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottoms of small dessert cups, jars, or muffin liners. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the pudding:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  4. Whip the cream:
    In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine filling:
    Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding to make it extra light and creamy.
  6. Assemble the pies:
    Layer banana slices over the crusts. Spoon or pipe the pudding mixture on top of the bananas.
  7. Top it off:
    Add a dollop of the remaining whipped cream on each mini pie. Sprinkle with extra crushed graham crackers or wafer cookies if desired.
  8. Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
