Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 package instant banana pudding mix
• 1 cup cold milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
• 1 banana, sliced for topping
• Honey for drizzling (optional)
• Optional Additions & Variations:
• For a richer taste, mash an extra banana into the pudding before filling the crusts.
• Swap vanilla wafers for graham crackers or shortbread cookies for a twist.
• Top with crushed nuts or chocolate shavings for extra texture.
• Drizzle caramel sauce instead of honey for a decadent touch.

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or use liners for easy removal.

In a bowl, mix the crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into each mini muffin cup to form the crusts. Bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and let cool.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Let it chill for a few minutes to thicken.

Once chilled, gently fold in the whipped topping to create a light and airy filling.

Spoon or pipe the banana pudding mixture into the cooled crusts, smoothing the tops. Garnish each bite with a slice of fresh banana and an extra dollop of whipped topping if desired.

For a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey or caramel over the bites before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

For best results, refrigerate the banana pudding bites for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
