Banana yogurt and vanilla ice cream make one sweet frozen pie filling in these banana cream pie cups!

Banana yogurt and vanilla ice cream make one sweet frozen pie filling in these banana cream pie cups!

This weekend was HOT. Hot and humid. Heat advisory, bad hair day humid kind of hot folks. So that meant two things: 1. We played outside for no more than an hour with water toys [yes, Mom got drenched] and 2. When we came inside from the heat wave the whole family wanted a treat to cool off with. No plain Jane popsicles for this crew! Mom had some extra time this weekend [remember, we were only outside for an hour] so I treated my guys to these banana cream pie cups. Think pie meets the freezer and becomes one frozen sweet treat!

Since having kids I find myself creating more bite-sized or kid-sized recipes. And that actually works in my caloric-favor when I make a new dessert. Like I mentioned in my Avocado Ice Pops post, when it comes to ice cream I’m not one for pint portion control. But I can have one or two of these banana cream pie cups and feel good about it! Plus the filling is a mixture of yogurt and ice cream—- see what I did there! [Inspiration for this banana cream pie filling came from my friend Lindsay’s Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream Pie recipe].

If you are not a banana fan no worries, you can easily swap the flavored yogurt and fruit topping for strawberry, blueberry, lemon, you name it! You can also replace the peanut butter drizzle with chocolate or caramel drizzle. Now once you feast your eyes on this recipe don’t forget to scroll down to learn more about today’s giveaway! Oh and PS. If you give your kids popsicles instead of making these banana cream pie cups I totally understand— no judgment there! But if you have some extra time you won’t want to miss out on making this one!

  7. This is such a cute idea! :] I love sugar cookies, and these look delicious! <3 I haven't had a banana cream pie in forever, but this would definitely do the trick!

  24. These look delicious! I need to make them for my son. I’ll substitute the peanut butter for fake stuff though because my husband has a severe allergy. I love your food photography, it’s so appealing. And you caramel drizzle is perfection! I always love seeing your new recipe posts. They are inspiring. Keep them coming! Question: Which plugin do you use for your recipe “card”?

  28. I LOVE these! I make mini lemon tarts for parties pretty frequently this same way – pressing sugar cookie dough into muffin pans and then filling them. But I never thought to make a frozen treat like this! It’s almost like an ice cream cookie sandwich, but with better portion control. So smart, Katie!
