A rich, silky, no-bake peanut butter banana cream pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and creamy peanut butter filling layered with fresh bananas. Perfect for a quick, impressive dessert with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (smooth, unsweetened or lightly salted)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe but firm bananas, sliced just before assembly
  • Optional toppings: chopped roasted peanuts or peanut brittle, chocolate shavings or melted chocolate drizzle, light sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and mixture feels like damp sand. Press firmly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Compact tightly and refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the peanut butter cream: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar and mix well.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture: Gently fold one-third of whipped cream into peanut butter filling to lighten it, then fold in remaining whipped cream carefully until fully incorporated.
  5. Slice bananas into ¼-inch thick slices and arrange evenly over chilled crust.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spoon peanut butter cream over banana layer, smoothing the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, add optional toppings such as chopped peanuts or drizzle melted chocolate.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Slice bananas just before assembly to prevent browning or toss in lemon juice if prepping early. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor melding.
