Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

2 ripe bananas, sliced

1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Whipped cream, for topping

Additional banana slices and graham cracker crumbles, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

    Assemble the Base: Spoon the crumb mixture into the bottom of serving cups or small jars, pressing down firmly to create an even layer. Set aside.

      Make the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes.

        Layer the Ingredients: On top of the graham cracker crust, add a layer of banana slices, followed by a generous layer of the vanilla pudding. Repeat the layers to create a visually appealing effect, finishing with pudding on the top.

          Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

            Top with Whipped Cream: Using a piping bag or a spoon, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup for a delightful finish.

              Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbles on top and add a few banana slices for decoration. Cover and refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours to set.

                Serve: Enjoy your delicious no-bake banana cream pie cups chilled!
