Summer is my favorite time of year to eat pie. Especially a cool and creamy refrigerated pie. And if it has peanut butter and chocolate– I’m in heaven. This wondrous pie will make you feel like a kid again with layer after layer of creaminess. You’ll be licking every last trace off of your spoon.

It all starts with a piecrust made from Nutter Butter cookies. Then comes a layer of fudge sauce. The kind you use on ice cream. Next is a layer of sliced banana, because they will maybe make you feel a little less guilty about eating such a sinful pie. Ok, maybe not. But I do love banana with chocolate and peanut butter.

On top of the banana is my favorite layer- a fantastically creamy and rich but light and smooth peanut butter layer made with vanilla pudding mix, peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and just enough cream cheese to add richness. It is spectacular.

But we’re not done yet. As if this pie doesn’t already have enough creaminess, there is a layer of freshly whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate curls. It’s a pie Elvis would have loved!

A slice of this Creamy Peanut Butter Banana Pie makes an incredible summer dessert.

  1. For the crust, do you leave the filling in the cookie or do you remove it? Looks so good, can’t wait to make it!

    I will try this Elvis Peanut Butter Pie minus the banana, since I do not like bananas 🙂
    I will also try the chocolate peanut butter layer bars too, they look so delicious……

  3. Wow! Does not seem overly sweet. Sounds delicious. Will try for sure. Love the idea for the crust. We will skip the bananas because my husband doesn’t care for slices of bananas in his pie. THANK YOU!

  4. Wow, this pie has everything I love! Peanut butter, banana and chocolate are the ultimate combo especially when you top that all with whipped cream! The nutter butter crust is such a great idea too – love this no-bake dessert especially for summer:)

  5. OMG, that looks delicious!! I would love this and my wife too! 🙂 Just printed your post so I can give this a try, thank you

      Thanks Lindsey! It was the first time I had bought Nutter Butters in a long time. I used to love them as a child. 🙂

      1. Hi Christin !! Everything about this pie looks like heaven! Unlike most of the others my bf lovvvves bananas and peanut butter what do you think about me adding an extra layer of banana! In between filling ? Or maybe just on top ?

        1. Christin
          Christin Mahrlig

          I think an extra layer of banana would be delicious. Just make sure it is covered by filling or the whipped cream to help keep the banana from turning brown. Hope your bf enjoys it!

  8. Love this pie, nutter butters are a brilliant idea for the crust. What’s better than peanut butter and banana only PB,banana and chocolate. YUM!

  9. Laura Dembowski
