Banana Cream Pie Cupcake


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms and sides of a muffin tin or silicone cupcake molds to form a crust.
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the filling:
    • Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk in a bowl for 2 minutes until thickened.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding to create a light and creamy filling.
  3. Assemble the cups:
    • Slice bananas and layer them at the bottom of each cooled crust.
    • Spoon or pipe the pudding mixture on top of the banana slices, filling each cup to the top.
  4. Chill:
    • Place the filled cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. Decorate and serve:
    • Before serving, top each cup with whipped cream, banana slices, and a drizzle of honey or caramel if desired.

Tips:

  • Make it ahead: These mini pies are perfect for preparing in advance. Just add the whipped cream and garnish right before serving.
  • Variations: You can substitute graham cracker crust with vanilla wafer crumbs or even Oreo crumbs for a twist.
  • Storage: Keep them refrigerated and consume within 2–3 days for the freshest taste.
