Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe Cooking Guide
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the instant vanilla pudding and milk to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin rounds for layering in each mini pie.
- Place Mini Nilla Wafers in the bottom of serving dishes or mini pie tins. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture, then a layer of banana slices. Repeat layers, finishing with cream cheese mixture on top.
- Cover the mini pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, optionally garnish with additional banana slices or crushed Nilla Wafers.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and best texture in your mini pies.
- To keep bananas from browning, toss slices in lemon juice before layering.
- Prepare the filling ahead and store separately from wafers and bananas for freshness.
- Swap pudding flavors or add toppings like chocolate drizzle or toasted coconut for variety.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best quality.
