Ingredients
- 6 mini graham cracker pie crusts
- 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced

- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream)
- Crushed graham crackers or banana slices, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Place a few banana slices at the bottom of each mini pie crust.
- Spoon the pudding mixture over the bananas, filling each crust evenly.
- Top each pie with a dollop of whipped topping or additional whipped cream.
- Garnish with banana slices or crushed graham crackers.
- Chill the pies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- To prevent bananas from browning, lightly brush slices with lemon juice before layering.
- Substitute vanilla pudding with banana pudding for a stronger banana flavor.
- Best served the same day for the freshest banana texture.
- Use mini Oreo crusts for a chocolate twist.
