Mini Banana Cream Pies with Graham Cracker Crust & Toasted Coconut

This is it, the mini bite-size banana cream pie that everyone yearns for. They are so creamy, smooth, and flavorful. Best of yet, you won’t have to worry about stretching those calories plans, as most of the cream used is minimized with Greek yogurt.

These mini bites have just as many layers as those giant ones do. Starting with Graham cracker crust base, which then enhances by toasted coconut, the taste just gets so much fuller. Then there’s the layer of banana cream filling, with a raw banana divider in the middle. Finally a whipped topping with all kinds of decoration, glazing, and sprinkles.

Both banana cream filling and topping cream incorporate Greek yogurt as a binding agent. Surely they won’t hold the shape as good as those with flour, but since this is a mini pie, as long as you’re chilling them, there should be no soggy to be worried about.

Taste? I would say it’s creamy sweet n sour with a hint of salty cracker, and a bit of tropical coconut. I would recommend adding some drizzle of chocolate syrup or fudge, they’re just super good with these. As there is not much sugar being used, you don’t have to worry much about the extra empty carb.

These mini pies are perfect for serving as Thanksgiving dessert or any gathering thereafter. If pumpkin’s getting too frequent in your menu, try this recipe with banana for a change.

For convenience, I just silicone cupcake liner to press and bake graham crackers into holding cups. You can also use a muffin pan and others. Or if you have a cheesecake rind/mold (see heart shape banana pie below), use that to save time baking outer shells.
