Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt, stirring until resembling damp sand. Press into mini tart pans and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat milk over medium heat until steaming. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly temper egg yolks with hot milk, then whisk this mixture into the saucepan. Cook over low heat while whisking until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla extract until combined. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to thicken further.
  4. Slice bananas just before assembly. Arrange banana slices in chilled crusts, pour cooled filling over, and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  5. Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar together on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Top each pie with whipped cream, garnish with banana slices and optional toppings. Serve chilled.
