    Mini Banana Cream Pie recipe

    How cute are these?!?! Simple to make, easy to eat, and a hit with any crowd!

    Have you ever gotten to the dessert table at a potluck and felt frustrated because you couldn’t fit all the desserts on your plate? This little banana cream pie recipe with a slice of banana on each of the mini pies is a great way to help your friends and family make space on their plates and in their stomachs for every delicious dessert at the potluck!

    I keep this at the front of my recipe box for when I don’t have the time for a homemade banana cream pie, and they’re still a hit with any crowd! Plus, the real banana slices on this yummy treat make for the cutest, most Pinterest-worthy snacks.

    Bite size banana treats made in no time! Refreshing, flavorful, and a kid favorite!

    I made these a few weeks ago for a family function we were all going to, and everyone (especially the kids) loved them! The entire tray was empty by the time it was time to go home, which I take as a good sign. These little bites are the perfect recipe for parties, company, and freezing for later. If you love good ol’ banana cream pie, you’ll love these mini versions too!

    IF YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO BAKE AN ELABORATE RECIPE, THESE TINY, SWEET BANANA CREAM PIES ARE YOUR TYPE OF DESSERT!

    I am a huge fan of this easy dessert recipe, and the best part is, you don’t have to make a whole pie or create a graham cracker crust. This mini banana cream pie recipe with a fresh banana slice on each tiny pie makes it easy for people to choose their own portion size and is ideal for feeding a large group at a potluck. If this is your first time making them, don’t sweat it! With just a little bit of time and absolutely no graham cracker crumbs, your dessert will be ready to go!

     

    INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

    • 8 oz. cream cheese
    • 1 box (3.4 oz.) vanilla pudding
    • ½ cup milk
    • 3 tbsp. sugar
    • 5 ripe bananas, sliced thin
    • 1 box mini vanilla wafers

    HOW TO MAKE MINI BANANA CREAM PIES:

    1. Line some mini muffin pans with paper liners. *This recipe makes about 36
    2. Place one mini vanilla wafer in the bottom of each paper liner in each muffin cup. (These will act as a replacement for graham crackers.)
    3. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar.
    4. Slowly add in the milk and mix until smooth.
    5. Next, slowly add in the pudding mix.
    6. Beat for about 2-3 minutes until thick and smooth.
    7. Using a piping bag, scoop pudding filling inside and close. *You can spoon this on as well, just won’t be as pretty
    8. Pipe (or spoon) the rich custard on top of each nilla wafer until about ⅔ full.
    9. Place the slices of banana on top and continue the process until all are completed.
    10. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, then serve and enjoy!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

    Can You Freeze Banana Cream Pie?

    Yes, you absolutely can. Just pop them in the freezer, and for best results, and thaw them on the counter anytime for a ready-made dessert. For best results, if you’re making them ahead of time, freeze the pies without bananas on top and add the banana slices once they’re thawed.

    How Should I Serve Mini Banana Cream Pies?

    These little pies are amazing on their own, but if you want to add an extra hint of sweetness, feel free to serve them with some whipped cream.

        These were eaten so quickly that I didn’t have to worry about that! If storing, I would say keep in an airtight container for no more than 2 days (refrigerated). Enjoy!!
