These peeps banana pudding mini pies are the perfect kid-friendly Easter dessert! Made with simple ingredients, kids can help make these delicious pies.
Begin by preparing the banana cream instant pudding according to the instructions printed on the package. Typically this step involves whisking pudding mix with cold milk in a mixing bowl.
Continue whisking until the mixture thickens into smooth banana pudding. Allow the pudding to set for a few minutes so the texture thickens up a bit.
Place the mini pie crusts on a tray or baking sheet. Spoon banana pudding into each crust until the filling reaches near the top edge.
A smooth layer creates the perfect base for candy decorations.
Sprinkle edible Easter grass across the pudding. The thin strands create a nestlike effect while adding bright color to the yellow pudding.
Insert two small cookies toward the back edge of each mini pie. The cookies add a soft crunch to the dessert. Vanilla wafers work especially well.
Place one Peeps bunny toward the back, next to the cookies. The marshmallow bunny stands in the edible grass, adding some marshmallowy goodness.
Scatter jelly beans around the bunny to resemble colorful Easter eggs. Multicolored jelly beans populate a bright candy nest that contrasts beautifully with the soft banana pudding.
Serve immediately after decorating, or refrigerate the mini pies for about fifteen minutes to help the pudding firm up before serving.
