Ingredients
Scale
For the Banana Cream Filling:
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crust:
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Additional:
- 2 ripe bananas (sliced)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Mini vanilla wafers or banana slices (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the banana cream pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Fillings: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
- Prepare the Crust: In another bowl, mix crushed vanilla wafers with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Spoon the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of 6 small cups or jars and press down to form a base.
- Add Banana Slices: Add a few banana slices over each crust layer.
- Assemble: Spoon or pipe the banana cream filling on top of the banana slices.
- Chill: Chill the pies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with a mini vanilla wafer or banana slice if desired.
Notes
- You can make these a day ahead—just add the whipped cream topping right before serving.
- For a richer flavor, substitute vanilla wafers with graham cracker crumbs or crushed shortbread.
