A creamy peanut butter banana cream pie takes an all-time favorite pie and combines it with one of the most delicious foods on earth to make a phenomenal no bake dessert.
I’ve said before that peanut butter and chocolate are one of my favorite duos of all time, but I also have a deep love for peanut butter and banana together. I might be 5 years old, but give me a banana and jar of pb and I’m a happy girl!

- In the other bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together.

- Combine the pudding and cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Fold in some of the Cool Whip
- Then slowly add the rest of the Cool Whip a little at a time folding gently as you go.
- Place a layer of sliced bananas all over the bottom of the pie crust and then top with the filling.
- Top with dollops of whipped cream and serve.
Does A Banana Cream Pie Need To Be Refrigerated?
Yes, bacteria can grow if a banana cream pie is left out for more than 2 hours.
Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Can You Freeze Banana Cream Pie?
You can freeze banana cream pie without the whipped cream on top. Put it in the freezer just until it is set and then wrap it thoroughly in plastic wrap. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Whipped cream should be added after it is thawed and just before serving it.
How Long Will Graham Cracker Crust Keep?
A graham cracker crust can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Possible Variations
So you know I’m all about making a recipe my own, so here are some possible variations to make it your own:
- Use chocolate graham crackers to make a crust
- Use banana cream pudding rather than vanilla
- Do a few layers of banana slices layered between pudding
- Create a peanut butter drizzle to put on top
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top
- Top with crumbled up Nutter Butters
I think I could go on and on and on! So many delicious options!
