This Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie is nothing short of sensational. The peanut butter in the crust, whipped topping and drizzle complements the decadent banana cream filling so perfectly. Each layer is an explosion of peanut butter and banana flavor. You won’t be able to put your fork down once you’ve had your first bite!

A Pie to Celebrate With

I created this beauty for Banana Cream Pie Day. Yes, there’s a day dedicated to honoring the dreamy banana cream pie. I had to celebrate it! And what a celebration! It also makes for such a great dessert to serve when celebrating birthdays, Easter, summer barbecues, or just a get together with good friends!

A traditional banana cream pie has a graham cracker crust and a vanilla custard filling with a layer of bananas and some fluffy whipped cream. That’s tasty and all, but I took traditional to a whole new level by making it extra-special and unforgettable.

And that’s exactly what I did with this amazing peanut butter banana cream pie! And I guarantee it’ll be love at first bite! It’s over-the-top delicious and pretty easy to make.

  1. Made this on a cold winter day. The BEST pie I ever had, and I’m a senior! Thankfully there aren’t any calories on the weekends! Thanks Maegan!!! I make (and love) many of your recipes but you really outdid yourself on this one!!!

    1. Hi Peter! You can definitely use it in the crust and drizzle, but it might be tricky to use in the whipped topping as the chunks of nuts could interfere with getting that fluffy whipped texture. I haven’t tested it with crunchy peanut butter so I could say for sure, but I think it’s definitely worth a try. I hope this helps and that it turns out just as great if you give it a try! Enjoy!

  2. Absolutely delicious! The only trouble I had was with the banana pudding. I realized I neglected to buy the instant pudding when it wouldn’t thicken. Poured the pudding mix into a pot and cooked. It turned out fine. Question – can I freeze?

    1. Hi, Marie! I’m so glad it worked out! And yes, you can freeze it! I would recommend refrigerating it for a few hours first so everything is cold and then wrap in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. It can freeze for up to 2 months. Let defrost completely in the fridge when ready to enjoy. I actually love frozen cream pies so I tend to eat them straight from the freezer. My grandma called them ice box pies and she had a recipe for every flavor. Always an ice box pie in the freezer. Yum!

  3. Made this today for my boyfriend’s birthday. Hope he likes it! Took a lot longer than 1 hour 10 minutes. Almost 3 hours, but I know my kitchen isn’t set up as nice as Meaghan’s, nor am I a pro! 🙂. But that’s ok, I had fun making it and hope it tastes as good as it looks! Thanks Meaghan!

  4. Just plain wicked! This would be the pie to make if you knew the world was going to end so you would go out happy!!
