Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe – Tasty Quick Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made mini graham cracker crust store-bought or homemade
• 2 ripe bananas sliced
• 1 cup cold milk
• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• to taste Chocolate shavings or crushed graham crackers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant banana pudding mix until well combined. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
2. Place a few banana slices at the bottom of each mini graham cracker crust.
3. Spoon the thickened banana pudding over the banana slices, filling each crust generously.
4. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Gently spoon or pipe the whipped cream mixture over the pudding layer in each mini pie, smoothing it out to the edges.
6. If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings or crushed graham crackers on top for an extra touch.
7. Refrigerate the mini pies for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
8. Remove from the fridge, and they are ready to enjoy!
