Mini Banana Cream Cookie Pies

Introduction

Mini Banana Cream Cookie Pies are sweet, creamy, and adorable little desserts made with soft sugar cookie cups, smooth banana cream pudding, whipped cream, fresh banana slices, and a touch of vanilla flavor. They are the perfect bite-sized treat for parties, family gatherings, holidays, baby showers, brunch tables, or any occasion where you want a dessert that looks beautiful and tastes comforting.

These mini pies combine the flavor of classic banana cream pie with the ease of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Instead of making a traditional pie crust from scratch, the cookie dough bakes into golden mini cups that hold the creamy banana filling perfectly. The result is a dessert that is soft, sweet, creamy, and full of banana flavor.

Each little cookie pie has a buttery cookie base, a cool pudding center, a fluffy whipped cream topping, and a fresh banana slice on top. They are easy to serve, easy to eat, and always look elegant on a dessert tray.

Ingredients

1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 box banana cream pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

2 bananas, sliced

Whipped cream, for topping

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Extra banana slices, for garnish

Crushed vanilla wafers, optional for topping

A little lemon juice, optional for brushing banana slices

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter so the cookie cups release easily after baking.
2. Slice the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into small pieces. Place one piece of dough into each cup of the mini muffin pan.
3. Gently press the dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides of each muffin cup. Do not press too thin, because the cookie cups need to hold the filling.
4. Bake the cookie cups for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
5. Remove the pan from the oven. While the cookie cups are still warm, gently press the center of each one with the back of a spoon to create a small well for the filling.
6. Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a medium mixing bowl, add the banana cream pudding mix and cold milk.
8. Whisk for about 2 minutes, until the pudding begins to thicken and becomes smooth.
9. Add the vanilla extract and stir until fully combined.
10. Place the pudding in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes so it becomes thicker and easier to spoon into the cookie cups.
11. Once the cookie cups are completely cool, spoon the banana cream pudding into each cookie cup.
12. Slice the bananas into thin rounds. If you want to keep the banana slices from browning too quickly, lightly brush them with a small amount of lemon juice.
13. Add a small swirl of whipped cream on top of each filled cookie pie.
14. Place one banana slice on top of each whipped cream swirl.
15. If desired, sprinkle a few crushed vanilla wafers over the top for extra texture and a classic banana cream pie flavor.
16. Chill the mini banana cream cookie pies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and makes the dessert taste cool and refreshing.
