No-Bake Mini Banana Cream (Print Version)

Creamy banana pies with graham crusts and whipped topping, chilled for effortless individual treats.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Banana Cream Filling

04 - 1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana pudding mix
05 - 1 1/2 cups cold milk
06 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
07 - 2 ripe bananas, sliced
08 - 1 cup whipped cream

→ Topping

09 - 1 cup whipped cream
10 - Banana slices, for garnish
11 - Shaved chocolate or crushed graham crackers, optional for garnish

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.
02 - Distribute about 1–2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each cavity of a muffin tin or tart pans. Press down firmly to form the base. Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until set.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
04 - Beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the whipped cream to the pudding mixture until smooth and incorporated.
05 - Arrange a few sliced bananas on each chilled crust base.
06 - Spoon the banana cream mixture over the bananas, filling each to the top and smoothing the surface. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for proper setting.
07 - Before serving, top each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with extra banana slices and, if desired, shaved chocolate or additional graham cracker crumbs.

# Notes:

01 - For clean edges when unmolding, run a thin knife around each crust before lifting out.
