Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, sliced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Whipped cream, for topping

Extra banana slices, for garnish

Optional: chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and resemble wet sand.

    Layer the crust: Take small serving cups (approximately 4-6 depending on size) and evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of each cup, pressing down lightly to form a crust layer.

      Make the cream filling: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt into the whipped cream, gently folding to combine until smooth and fluffy.

        Layer the bananas: Place a layer of sliced bananas on top of the crust in each cup, ensuring they are evenly spread.

          Add cream filling: Spoon the cream filling over the banana layer in each cup, smoothing the tops with a spatula to create an even surface.

            Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set.

              Top and garnish: When ready to serve, remove the cups from the refrigerator, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each, garnish with additional banana slices, and if desired, sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an extra touch.

                Serve: Enjoy these delightful banana cream pie cups chilled as a perfect dessert for any occasion!
