Alternative Tips for the Recipe:
- Crust Swap:
- No graham crackers? Use crushed digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or even Oreo cookies (without the filling) for a different twist.
- Pudding Flavor Variations:
- Don’t have banana cream pudding? Try vanilla or butterscotch pudding instead. You can still add fresh banana slices for flavor.
- Sugar-Free Option:
- Use sugar-free pudding mix and a natural sweetener like stevia or honey in place of granulated sugar for a lighter version.
- Dairy-Free Variation:
- Substitute almond or oat milk in the pudding (make sure it sets well), and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Add Texture:
- Sprinkle crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or toasted coconut on top for a little crunch and added flair.
- Serve It Differently:
- No muffin tin? Make one large pie in a tart pan, or layer everything in small jars for a parfait-style dessert.
