1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until it looks like wet sand.
Form the Mini Pies: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Press 2 tablespoons of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
Mix the Filling: Whisk cold milk and instant pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened. Fold in vanilla extract and whipped cream until light and fluffy.
Assemble: Place 1-2 banana slices on each chilled crust. Spoon the pudding mixture over the bananas and smooth the tops.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and the crust to bond.
Garnish and Serve: Top with an extra dollop of whipped cream, a fresh banana slice, and an optional drizzle of caramel before serving.

Notes

To prevent bananas from turning brown, toss slices in a little lemon juice before assembly. For a different flavor, try using vanilla wafers or chocolate sandwich cookies for the crust. Don’t skip the 2-hour chill time, as this ensures the pies hold their shape when removed from the liners.
