Muffin Tin Banana Cream Pies

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

Muffin tin banana cream pies are right up my alley. They’re no bake, make ahead, take minimal effort and are absolutely delicious.

They are also super cute. I mean anything made in a muffin tin has gotta be, right?

It’s also physically impossible for me to pass up anything banana flavored.

It’s no secret that I’m not an awesome baker. That’s why I rarely share dessert recipes.

When I do, they have to be fool proof. That’s mainly because if there’s a way to mess them up I will find it.

I’ve made a banana cream pie before but this was my first time making little mini versions of them.

They were such a hit! Everyone just loved them and I hope you will, too.

If easy desserts are your thing. You just have to give my 3 ingredient blueberry cobbler a try.. You’ll absolutely love it!

Muffin Tin Liners

It’s important to talk about the muffin tin liners here for a second because any kind won’t do.

Make sure to use heavy duty liners for this recipe. You know what I mean?

Something like the thick foil ones are great!

The pudding will absorb into the thinner liners and make them soggy.

Just be mindful of what one’s you chose for this one so the dessert can be it’s best.

What are the options for muffin tin banana cream pie crusts?

The options for these muffin tin banana cream pie crusts are only limited to your imagination.

I sincerely mean that so get creative.

This dessert is no bake. Meaning there’s no oven involved at all in making these.

If you’re willing to bake them for a little then the options just expand even more.

I used a Golden Oreo because it fit so well and I’ve used them before for mini cheesecakes.

Here are some other great ideas to choose from:

• Chocolate Oreo Cookies or any Oreo Flavor
• Nilla Wafers
• Sugar Cookie Dough
• Graham Crackers
• Traditional Pie Crust
• Puff Pasty
• Crescent Rolls.

Cream pie variations:

I love banana flavored anything but that’s just my own personal taste.

If you’d like to switch it up, be my guest!

This recipe is really just pudding and an Oreo crust.

The crust variations we already went over above.

There’s no reason why you can’t switch out the pudding flavors, too.

Sure, it won’t be banana cream pie then but who cares.

Here are a few different pudding ideas:

• Chocolate
• Vanilla
• Strawberry
• Lemon
• Butterscotch
• Pistachio

It’s your dessert and if you want to experiment go for it.

Can these be made ahead?

Yes, these mini banana cream pies can be made ahead.

Just don’t add the whipped cream and little wafer until you’re ready to serve it.

The whipped cream will not hold and kinda melt.

So add those toppings right before you choose to serve them.

How can I make the pudding thicker?

If you like a thicker consistency for these that’s a quick fix.

Just pull back a little on the milk and don’t add as much.

If your pudding box says 2 cups of milk try removing 1/4 of a cup.

This is personal preference and totally up to you how thick you want it.
