# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until thoroughly mixed.
02 - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin to create mini pie crusts. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

04 - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

06 - Spoon the banana pudding mixture into each chilled pie crust, filling to just below the rim.
07 - Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream.
08 - Arrange fresh banana slices on top and finish with a light drizzle of honey before serving.

# Notes:

01 - These mini pies can be made up to 24 hours in advance and kept refrigerated.
02 - For best results, add banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
