How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Banana Pie
For the Graham Cracker Crust
- If using a store-bought, let's hit this and move on to the filling!
- For the homemade graham cracker crust, make it ahead of time and chill it until ready to fill.
- Finely crush graham crackers in a food processor or place them in a zip-lock bag and roll with a rolling pin and crush them.
- Stir graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and salt together in a large bowl. Add melted butter and stir with a fork.
- Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9” pie plate. Press hard to compact. You can use a glass to press the bottom, but use your fingers to press the sides.
- Chill pie crust for at least one hour before filling. Cover if chilling longer. Make pie as directed.
- To make a baked graham crust: Preheat oven to 325°. Bake crust for 10 minutes, until it just starts to brown. Cool completely before filling.
Peanut Butter & Banana Pie Filling
- Whisk pudding mix and milk and let set 5 minutes.
- Add peanut butter and whisk together until combined and smooth.
- Add 1 cup cool whip to the peanut butter mixture and carefully fold in until it’s combined.
- Slice 1 banana and place in the bottom of prepared pie crust to cover the bottom.
- Cover the bananas with the pudding mixture.
Toppings/Garnishes
- Top pie with a layer of whipped topping divided, leaving some for the border of the pie - see step 9. (Or just layer with all whipped topping if you don’t want to mess with a border).
- Place about ¼ cup peanut butter in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds until it’s thin enough to spread. Add to zip-lock bag and cut off one tip; pipe over whipped topping. Repeat same process with ¼ cup Nutella and pipe over whipped topping.
- For whipped cream border: Add remaining Cool Whip to zip-lock bag and cut off one tip; pipe border around pie edge or use pastry bag
with fancy large star tube
if you want fancy.
- Add sliced bananas and salted peanuts as desired.
- Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.
No Bake Peanut Butter Banana Pie Recipe Tips
To save a some steps, buy a store-bought pie crust instead of making it. Graham cracker and Nilla wafer
If you don't have Cool Whip, you could always use Dream Whip
Remember bananas will brown once they are sliced and exposed to the air. So, save the sliced bananas for the top of the dessert garnish until ready to serve for best results. Wrap pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place in covered container or resealable plastic bag and refrigerate once the bananas are cut.
This no bake peanut butter banana cream pie is a nice change up that the whole family will love and it's so easy to make!
