Ingredients
Vanilla Wafer Crust
- 1 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers, more for decoration
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Banana Pudding Filling
- 3.4 oz instant banana pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream, divided
- 1 banana thinly sliced
- Honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease 24-cup mini-muffin tin.
- In a medium-size bowl add vanilla wafer cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Using a spoon add your crumbs to each muffin space, making sure that you are pressing firmly and creating a pie shape.
- Press down in the middle to create a deep space for your filling. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow your mini pie crusts to cool off completely before adding the filling.
- In another bowl, whisk the instant banana cream pudding mix, vanilla, and cold milk until thickened. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 a cup of the whipped topping/cool whip and fold into the pudding mix. This will create a nice and fluffy pudding recipe.
- Add your filling and remaining whipped topping into 2 separate plastic baggies. Cut the tip-off or use a star shape tip. This will make it really easy to fill in your pies.
- Squeeze out a bit of the filling into one of your pie crusts, then squeeze some of the whipped topping on top. Decorate with a banana slice, and/or mini vanilla wafer cookie.
- Use a knife to loosen from pan and they should pop right out.
