Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Last week, I made the mistake of buying too many bananas at the grocery store. I thought I could make something delicious besides eating them, adding them to a smoothie, or making Mama Sassy's Banana Bread. Why not banana cream pie? I love the creamy texture and sweet flavor of banana cream pie. The smooth custard filling and graham cracker crust make it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Every bite is like a burst of tropical goodness with the ripe bananas and whipped cream topping. It's definitely one of my all-time favorite pies.

You can make an easy mini banana cream pie with the following ingredients:

This recipe will fill 6 of the mini graham cracker pie shells perfectly.

INGREDIENTS

• Keeber Graham Cracker RTE Mini Pie Crust 6ct
• Jell-O Banana Cream Instant Pudding Mix & Pie Filling, 3.4 oz. Box
• 1-2 Bananas
• 2 cups Milk (pictured is lactose-free because we have a couple of people in our household who are lactose intolerant)
• Whipped cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make pudding according to the directions on the box.
   
   
   
2.  Slice up the bananas and add some of them to pie shells. Leave the rest for the top.
   
   
   
3. Pour pie filling over the bananas. 
   
   
   
4. Once the pies have set up in the refrigerator, and when ready to serve, spread the whipped cream over the pie filling, and top with a couple of banana slices.
   
   
   

To Store Cream Pies

It tastes best when served chilled, refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours uncovered before serving without the whipped cream! The whipped cream will break down and just melt away. If storing longer than 4 hours, lightly cover with plastic wrap.

• Refrigerator: You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days; if you keep it too long, the bananas may get a bit weepy, but it’ll still taste great!

Are you a banana cream pie lover? Do you have a recipe to share? We'd love to hear from you in the comments.

Keep it sassy,

Kelly

Celebrate National Strawberry Month with these Recipes

May is National Strawberry Month. Fresh strawberries are one of the most popular and refreshing treats anywhere and healthy too! Perfect for everything from cheesecake to mojitos to jam. And since the peak picking season starts in May, there will be plenty of juicy blooms. 

Here are some juicy tidbits about strawberries:

1. Strawberries are high in Vitamin C. Eating eight strawberries is all it takes to consume 140% of a child's recommended daily intake of Vitamin C. Good thing my grandson loves strawberries.
2. You can find them all over the U.S. Strawberries are grown in all fifty states.
3. They are ar related to a popular flower. Strawberries belong to the Rosaceae flowering plant family, which is also the family of the rose.
4. Strawberries aren't berries. Fruits that fall into the berry category have seeds on the inside, not the outside.
5. They are very stimulating. The French are convinced that strawberries serve as a powerful aphrodisiac, so much so that it's a tradition in the French countryside to serve cold strawberry soup to newlyweds.

Make something wonderful with those strawberries. Here are some delicious recipes:

Football Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes ⋆ Sprinkle Some Fun

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups dipping chocolates (milk is best for color)
• 24 large strawberries (keep leaves intact)
• 1 cup melted white candy melts
• 24 chocolate sandwich cookies
• 2 packages (8 oz each) of cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 24 football cupcake liners

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. First, heat the oven to 375°F. Line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper liners and put one cookie into each cup.  
2. Next, use a large bowl to beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.  Use a medium-high speed on the electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture is airy and light. Spoon mixture into the muffin cups about 2/3 full. 
3. Lastly, bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Using a water bath under the muffin tin would even be better).  Remove from muffin cups to a cooling rack as soon as possible. Cool for about 30 minutes or until they are at least room temp. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours before serving.  Top each cheesecake with a Football Strawberry! 
4. To make the football strawberries: (no more than 24 hours in advance) Melt chocolate in the microwave according to the package.  Dip each strawberry in the chocolate up to the top of each strawberry.  Set them on a piece of parchment paper and let them dry completely.  Once they are hardened, melt the white candy melts and place them in a piping bag and snip the tip off of the bag to make a very small hole for piping the candy out.  Make the laces on the footballs with this and let them dry completely.  Place each strawberry on top of the refrigerated cheesecakes!  Enjoy!
