Description

These No-Bake Mini Banana Cream Pies are a delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy banana-flavored pudding filling, and fresh banana slices. Perfectly portioned in mini tart pans, they are chilled to set for a mousse-like texture and topped with whipped cream for an elegant finish. Ideal for quick preparation without needing an oven, making them a fantastic treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced

For Topping

  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Optional: crushed graham crackers or banana slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed.
  2. Form Crusts: Divide the crust mixture evenly among 6 mini tart pans or muffin liners. Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms and slightly up the sides to form the crust base and edges.
  3. Chill Crust: Place the crusts in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up and set before adding the filling.
  4. Make Banana Cream Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant banana cream pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups of cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  5. Whip Cream: In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring it is light and airy.
  6. Combine Cream and Pudding: Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened pudding mixture to create a light, mousse-like filling without deflating the whipped cream.
  7. Assemble Pies: Place a few slices of banana into each chilled crust. Spoon the pudding and whipped cream mixture evenly over the banana slices in each crust.
  8. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled mini pies for at least 1 hour or until the filling is fully set and firm.
  9. Add Toppings: Before serving, top each mini pie with whipped cream and optionally garnish with crushed graham crackers or additional banana slices for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Best served the day of preparation to prevent the banana slices from browning and losing their fresh taste.
  • If banana cream pudding mix is unavailable, substitute with vanilla pudding mix and add a bit of mashed ripe banana to replicate the banana flavor.
