Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of mini tart pans and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  3. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the warm milk, whisking constantly until it thickens.
  4. Once thickened, remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
  5. Layer the banana slices into the cooled crusts, pour the custard over the bananas, and refrigerate until set.
  6. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, then dollop over the set mini pies before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of cinnamon to the custard.
