Mini Banana Cream Pies (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs.
02 - ½ cup melted butter.
03 - ¼ cup sugar.
04 - 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix.
05 - 2 cups cold milk.
06 - 1 cup heavy cream.
07 - 2 tbsp powdered sugar.
08 - 1 tsp vanilla extract.
09 - 2 ripe bananas, sliced.
10 - Whipped cream (for topping).
11 - Honey (for drizzling).

Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into muffin tins to create mini crusts. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
02 - Prepare the banana cream pudding by whisking the pudding mix into cold milk until it thickens. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
03 - In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture.
04 - Spoon the pudding mixture into the chilled graham cracker crusts.
05 - Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream, garnish with banana slices, and drizzle with honey.
06 - Serve immediately or chill further before serving for a colder treat.

Notes:

01 - Chill the crusts in the fridge to ensure they set properly before adding the pudding.
02 - Drizzle honey right before serving for added sweetness and shine.
