• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Make the Crust

1. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined.

3. Place the tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.

2. Prepare the Filling

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the banana cream pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to let it set.
2. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture for a lighter texture.

3. Assemble the Mini Pies

1. Spoon the banana pudding mixture into the chilled graham cracker crusts.
2. Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream.
