In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk and erythritol over medium heat until the mixture begins to steam.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and banana extract until well combined.
Slowly add about 1 cup of the steaming almond milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining almond milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly before covering it with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the salted butter and toast the coconut flakes and chopped pecans until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding to lighten the texture.
To assemble, distribute a spoonful of the toasted coconut and pecan mixture into the bottom of each shot glass. Fill the shot glasses with the banana pudding mixture on top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining coconut-pecan topping and serve chilled.
