If you follow my blog regularly you will know that I love mini desserts. So when creating my Bananas Foster Warm Bread Pudding I couldn’t help but envision it as adorable little pies.
The result was fantastic.
These mini pies have a crunchy yet soft crust that is naturally sweet with a touch of salt and the filling is warm, perfectly caramelized bananas. Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream and you have mini pie heaven!
These warm, sweet, extremely satisfying pies are a perfect Fall dessert.
