Aren’t itty bitty desserts the best?! You are going to love thisMini Banana Cream Pie Recipe, individually portioned for one, two, three bites at a time!
Confession: When food is little and cute, sometimes I talk to it. …In a baby voice.
I’m sorry.
But honestly, just look at these little guys!
Who could resist these darling little bites of sweet southern goodness?
Not me.
My Banana Cream Pie Recipe is one of my family’s all-time favorites. Carson would have classic banana pudding with vanilla wafers for every mealif I’d let him.
So it’s no wonder we came up with a way to combine the two into tiny little treat you can pop by the handful. We call it banana pie therapy… It works for curingrainy day blues, along with all sorts of cranky ailments.
To make thisMini Banana Cream Pie Recipe, start by popping a Mini Nilla Wafer in mini muffin pans with mini muffin liners… that’s a lot of itty bitty.
Then beat together an easy 4-ingredient pudding filling. Don’t be tempted to buy “instant banana pudding” because it tastes weird. Use vanilla pudding mix and real banana slices.
Then pipe (or dollop) thefilling into the liners and press it down with a fresh banana slice.
Cover the tops with more filling and tap the pan to fill out the liners.
Like so…
Top the Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe with another slice of banana and another Mini Nilla Wafer. Then refrigerate to set.
Waiting is the hardest part of the recipe.
Once the Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe has firmed up, you can peel off the paper liners and enjoy. You can even freeze them in the pans, then pop them in a freezer bag and save for a rainy day… or bad report card.
Let’s hope for rain.
This pocket-sized Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe is just what you need to start off the school year on the right foot.
One tiny pie in a lunchbox will senda bigmessage of love, and two is even better.
P.S. Feel free to use low fat cream cheese and milk, or go for the gusto and use full fat everything.
Check out this amazing classic Banana Pudding Recipe!

I tried to make these without an electric mixer, I would not recommend this! I’m not sure if it’s because I didn’t have a mixer or because of the pudding mix, but it set immediately and was slightly clumpy. I haven’t tasted it yet, I assume they will still taste good, but the texture is all wrong.
