- In another bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture for a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Pies:
- Spoon the banana pudding mixture into the chilled crusts.
- Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream.
- Garnish with banana slices and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
- Chill and Serve:
- Chill the assembled pies for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For a firmer crust, freeze instead of refrigerating.
Feel free to substitute vanilla pudding mix or other flavors if banana isn’t your preference.
Add an extra layer of bananas inside the pies for a more intense banana flavor.
To prevent bananas from browning, brush slices with lemon juice before garnishing.
