Calories: 695kcal
Ingredients
Crust
- 3 1/2 cups Nilla wafers
- 8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter melted and cooled
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- pinch of salt
Filling
- 1 (3) oz package instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 can condensed milk
- 1 1/2 bananas sliced
Topping
- 1/2 banana sliced
- 1/4 cup Nilla wafers
- whipped cream optional
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
- Place the wafers into a large Ziploc bag and pound them with a rolling pin until they become coarse crumbs.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the wafer crumbs, flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter. Mix on low speed for 1 minute.
- Press the moistened mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool completely before filling.
Filling and Topping
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment on, whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form. Remove from the bowl and place in the refrigerator.
- Pour the pudding mixture into the bowl, add the milk and condensed milk. Beat for 1 minute on medium or until the mixture becomes smooth. Remove the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Once the mixture has set, fold in the whipped cream. Pour ⅓ of the mixture into the pie dish. Place ½ of the slices of banana on top of the mixture. Pour another ⅓ and cover with the remaining bananas. Pour the remaining mixture over and smooth with a spatula.
- Chill until ready to serve. Top the mini pies with desired toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
STORE Mini Banana Cream Pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended because the bananas may become mushy and the texture of the pudding can change.
If making ahead, prepare the crust and filling separately, then assemble before serving to maintain the best texture.
