Chocolate, peanut butter, banana, vanilla pudding, whipped cream – all in one pie! This will satisfy all your cravings in one single bite!
It’s occurred to me I haven’t done dessert in a while, like half-a-dozen-posts while. I attribute this to the fact that most desserts require baking and therefore, turning on the oven. In case you didn’t know, we’re well into summer where I am, and it’s been mostly hot and humid. I’m not fond of standing in front of a hot oven in this weather. I’m sure you’d understand.
What about making cold desserts, you say, like ice cream, for instance? Uhm…. yeah, my ice cream machine is…. uhm…. broken.
Okay, I’m just making excuses. But you did buy it for a second there, didn’t you? The truth is, I haven’t done much cooking and baking altogether, period. It’s time to change that. I can’t continue to keep coming to my own fiesta without bringing anything. My guests deserve better than that. They would appreciate a dessert every now and then, am I right?
An easy-to-make, no-bake pie, like Banana Cream Pie, sounds pretty good to me and would satisfy my family’s sweet tooth. But is that the way a host should behave? Making the easiest thing to serve to her guests? I don’t think so. So, I’m making you a Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie, instead. See… I told you I’m a very thoughtful host and person. 🙂 🙂
- 12 graham crackers (or 24 squares or 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
- 3 - 4 bananas
- 2 (3.4 oz packages) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas
- Crushed roasted peanuts
- Piped chocolate decoration/garnish
- In a food processor, grind the crackers until you get fairly fine crumbs.
- Add melted butter and Nutella, and pulse until well-blended.
- Press into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake in 350°F for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Mix chocolate chip and peanut butter in bowl (and heavy cream if using). Microwave for about 30 seconds, stir. Microwave for another 15-30 seconds and stir until smooth. Set aside while you cut the bananas.
- Cut bananas in half lengthwise and then in sections so that they fit nicely inside the pie pan.
- Pour chocolate mixture over bananas to cover. Place in refrigerator while you prepare the pudding layer.
- Combine pudding mix and milk and whisk until smooth and thick.
- Add whipped topping and continue whisking until thoroughly incorporated.
- Spread over chocolate layer.
- Decorate the top of pie with piped whipped topping, sliced bananas, crushed roasted peanuts, and chocolate decoration/garnish. Refrigerate until completely chilled (3 hours) prior to serving.
At this point, this pie is pretty enough to serve, don’t you think? But I like to make my guests feel really special, so I’m adding a little somethin’-somethin’ to decorate my pie further.
A little somethin’-somethin’ for the pie. They don’t have to be perfect. It’s the thought that counts. At least that’s my excuse. For the directions on how to make these piped chocolate decorations, go here
Here’s the finished pie, for all of you. I told you I’m a thoughtful host….and caring…. and nice…. and…. own-horn tooter. Okay, I’m stopping. Right now.

Pin This To Make Later!
MMM, do you make breakfast deliveries? 😉
No, but you’re welcome to come to my party and help yourself to as much pie as you like! 🙂
I LOVE the somethin’-somethin’!! 🙂
I made extra somethin’-somethin’ to enjoy as is! 🙂
Sounds like that was a good call 🙂
Oh so lovely words, thank you Angie! 🙂
And that from such a creative blogger! I love your cake!! It looks absolutely stunning. Really like you’re having very special guests. The somethin is really something, they look perfect! 🙂 Happy Fiesta Friday #26!
You’re welcome, Tina! I just bought mangoes, so I can try your scrumptious recipe. Sounds so YUM!
I’m glad you like the somethin’-somethin’. They’re for you! 🙂 Happy FF26!
Looking good, Angie! How can you go wrong with bananas and chocolate and Nutella and vanilla pudding! Makes me want to skip bkfast altogether and head straight for dessert!
Me, too! Good thing there’s still half a pie left. I might have another slice for lunch, too. It has fruit in it, and dark chocolate, so it’s healthy! 🙂
I totally feel ya! Lol we clearly come from the same school of nutrition. All I need to do is get pudding mix and I’ll be ready to try the recipe!
Let me know what you think. If you like it sweeter, go for milk chocolate instead of dark. Oh, and add more bananas. It needs more bananas.
I’m a die hard dark chocolate fan so I’m sticking to my dark chocolate no matter what you say LOL. Thanks for the notes. I do have a whole bunch to use up so will throw a couple more in.
Oh YUM! This post is not going to help me tame my sweet tooth….!!
Hahaha…. you need to let that sweet tooth go wild sometimes! 🙂
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t indulge it more than I should 😉
Same thing here, been having too many of those ice-cream runs! 🙂
This pie, however, is not too sweet. Using dark chocolate instead of milk keeps it from being overly sweet.
Gosh, that looks good Angie!!
High praise coming from you! Thanks, Naina! 🙂
Angie, this Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie looks absolutely divine 🙂 Happy Fiesta and Happy weekend too 🙂
Thanks, Linda, you’re so sweet! Happy FF to you, too. And have a great weekend! <3
PIGGY DOWN – THUD! OMP (oh my piggy!) This picture – chocolate peanut butter banana cream pie – I have to admit – I licked my computer screen! XOXO – Bacon
No, Bacon! Bad piggy! Don’t lick the computer screen. You can ask nicely instead for a slice and I will give it to you. Lol….
Snorts and head straight up. Really? May I have slice pretty please my friend? It looks delicious. It has *all* of my favorites. Please 🙂 <3 XOXO – Bacon
Bacon, you need to join our fiesta! 🙂
How is it possible to do not love everything you do? Banana and Nutella is a winning mix, but, as always you made it better! Have a great we Angie, with this cake it won’t be hard…
Thank you, Margy! You are always so sweet and gracious. I’m so glad my pie meets your approval. Have a lovely weekend, hon! <3
I love this recipe. It looks soooo delicious!
Thank you, Martina! It was kinda delicious :-).
Incredible as always honey xx
Thank you, Dimple! So glad you like, hon! <3
What a beautiful pie!
Thank you, Nancy! So happy you think so! <3
Wow Angie, that pie is just beautiful and I love the little chocolate decorations. Love banana cream pie and chocolate yes please.
Thanks, Suzanne! I’m so happy you think so. Banana cream pie is an old family favorite, but this chocolate peanut butter version may have just taken its place. <3
Wow! Angie, you went above and beyond with this dessert!
Thank you, Erika! I’m so glad you like it! <3
Oooo I love those little chocolate flowers! You could probably have put those on a rotten peach and I would have thought “Wooowwww, Angie is soooo talented!” They’d make everything beautiful, and they make your pretty pie oh-so-glamorous!
It doesn’t hurt to go the extra mile and add a little somethin’-somethin’ to your dishes, right? All of a sudden, bam, people think you’re so brilliant. Hahaha…. tha’s my strategy, anyway. Thanks, Lina! <3
I really really like the look of this I don’t think I can do those twirly choccie things people would say I’m showing off but you do it beautifully
Not showing off that is 😀
I was so showing off! 🙂 It’s good sometimes to go the extra mile and take something ordinary to the next level. It’s just an ordinary pie, but I fooled people into thinking it’s something special with the choccie things, haha…
Btw, so sorry about Splodge. I was having internet problems (was traveling) and wasn’t able to post my comment, but I want you to know I was thinking of you. <3
awe thank you re splodge, i figured you must be out of reach, your words and thoughts are appreciated.
And yes you were showing off, i mean it was simply stunning and i want it, its one of those dishes I need to psyche myself up to attempt lol
Gorgeous looking pie and those chocolate decorations are the perfect finishing touch! Have you noticed how all the dishes in this week’s post are desserts? Definitely my sort of party 😉
Thank you so much Angie and Hilda for your kind words and for featuring my cakes. You have created such a friendly and supportive gang of party goers. From lovely feedback to tips about WordPress tags… It’s such a pleasure to join in.
Well, what do you know? They’re ALL desserts! Lol, I must have been craving sweets, which is not at all a shock :-).
You definitely deserve the feature. Those cakes are beyootiful, and oh, the edible gold is just so stunning. Now I want to gild everything! So glad you’re enjoying the party, Chava. It’s out pleasure to have YOU! <3
I love the chocolate toppings! They’re so cute (perfect or not). And no-cook desserts are the best. Hopefully, you don’t need to turn that oven on for awhile to stay nice and cool! Thanks for hosting as always, and have a wonderful weekend. 😀
It was on briefly just to heat the crust. Probably not even necessary. I’d skip the step next time. I don’t think it adds anything. In fact, I prefer crumbly crust. So glad you like the decorations. They’re fun to make! 🙂
As always, I drooled over at the gorgeous photos. 😀
Congrats on the features and thanks for the link back, Angie. <3
And hello, co-hosts. 😀
Sorry, Jhuls, as it’s Ramadan. Good thing it’s night time over there, isn’t it? Which means you can party and sample all the food? <3
It’s night time. 😀 So I could try everything. <3 Thanks, Angie!
You are the best Angie! Who else would go to all the effort of putting on this fab weekly shindig? Congrats to all the features – sorry I missed last week but I was having a weekend off from the blog and social media and enjoying myself at a big weekend party away. I will be joining in this party little later – see you then…
Okay, will see you in a bit. I enjoy parties so it’s no biggie to put this together weekly. Isn’t it liberating to be off social media sometimes? I may be off next week myself. Will do more traveling. 🙂
Very pretty details!
Thank you! How did you make out with the badge?
Still no luck, but I went to other contributors and their badge doesn’t link either? I sent my contribution to Fiesta Friday. How do I know if it was received? Sorry for the questions, I haven’t been at this too long.
Did you try image widget? Give it a try now. I’ll walk you through it. I’ll check on your link as soon as I can.
I tried the image widget, and it wants me to configure the widget image. I put the entire badge URL in The URL, put 175 in width and the Link URL but I still don’t get the image, and when I go back to configure it the info disappears.
Don’t use the text code for the image widget. Instead, right-click on the image of the badge and copy image. Then download it to your desktop and use like you would any of your pictures. Or, you can right-click and copy image URL and use that URL for the image widget. Give it a try, I’m still here.
I got it fixed! Thank you! Sorry for the learning curve.
No problem! I’m glad you got if fixed. 🙂
Beautiful. Just gorgie..(gorgeous in Prudy’s terms..) I LOVE this chocolate banana cream pie with the pretty little chocolate tinkly poos on top!!
You are awesome. Awesome, awesome, AWESOME.
Love the post.
Love the pie.
Love you.
I’m so excited to be back…and co-hosting with the lovely Jess from Cooking is my Sport! WooHOO!! Thank you, Angie, for giving me this wonderful opportunity… it’s going to be a blast!!
<3 xoxo <3
I’m all excited myself, Prudy! You and Jess will rock this party! 🙂
I’m glad you like the little somethin’-somethin’ on top of the pie. Or as you call them, the little tinkly poos. I like your description better! Love ya, Prudy! <3
Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie! Hello to co-hosts Prudy (yay!!) and Jess! This banana pie looks perfect for an upcoming potluck! And I have most the ingredients already! Yum! As always, thanks for inviting me to the party 🙂 Lisa
Great having you here, Lisa! For a potluck, I would suggest chocolate milk in place of dark chocolate, and add more bananas. I was sampling as I went along and didn’t fill as much as I should. Yah, you have to sample your bananas, to make sure they’re perfectly ripe! 🙂
Ah Angie, you make me laugh. And you bring banana chocolate cream pie. No wonder you are my favourite party thrower. I also bring food this week, must be getting life back into a routine post travels, woo!
Sir Johnny is, apparently, not blogging for a while as he tries to get into self hosting. Or something. So I might ask Margot to co-host unless you have another suggestion? In the meantime I’m off to party!!
I haven’t seen Sir’s post in a long time. So that’s why. Good to know at least he’s not off forever. Please do ask Margot! I would love to have her as a co-host.
Good to see you get back into your routines. I’m still all over the place. Another trip coming up in a week, so it’ll be wonderful if you and Margot can co-host next week. Drop me a note. But first, let’s party! 🙂
That banana cream pie looks absolutely yum! I am so with you on no bake desserts for summer. 🙂 Those chocolate somethings are indeed very cute and add such a wonderful finish to the pie.
Thank you, Aditi! So glad you like my somethin’-somethin’ :-). No-bake desserts are the way to go in the summer. Although I wouldn’t mind any fruit cumbles or cobblers, either :-).
Wow Angie Dear… This pie is awesome!! Loved it ?!! Bookmarked it ..planning to try soon!!
Happy FF ?
Thanks, Nimmi! Try chocolate milk instead of dark if you like it sweeter, and add more bananas. It needs more bananas, IMO. 🙂
Ok?.. Will keep this in mind while trying?.. Thank you so much Angie for your lovely suggestion?!!
That banana cream pie looks criminally good! Things like those don’t ship so well overseas, do they..? 🙂 Also my first Fiesta Friday – happy to be taking part!
No, it won’t ship well at all, but since you’re here at the fiesta, you can have as much as you like! 🙂 Wonderful to have you!
That banana cream pie looks absolutely yum! Happy Fiesta Friday Angie!!!!
Thanks, Simi! Glad you like it. Happy FF to you, hon! <3
The pie looks too good Angie , so lovely !! It makes me drool 😀
Thank you, Malar! I’m so pleased you like it. <3
Your chocolate peanut butter banana cream pie looks so amazing, Angie! And while it looks so complicated to make, your recipe sounds so simple! And all that banana! It looks so good. I can’t wait to give this a try. =)
It’s actually quite easy to make, just takes many steps. Add more bananas if you make this. I think it would taste better. Thanks, Andrea! <3
I’ll be sure to do that =)
Wow, Angie! You really made it? Looks superb! And decoration is made very carefully, wonderful!!!
I did! It wasn’t hard, really, but it did require multiple steps and time. I’m pleased that you like it, Mila! 🙂
Without exaggeration! 😉 Pie is gorgeous!
Thanks a bunch, hon! <3
Yum! That pie looks amazing!
Thanks, Michelle! I’m so pleased to get your approval! 🙂
Your pie looks wonderful! And I love the chocolate decorations!
Thank you, Anna! I’m happy that you like my little somethin’-somethin’ chocolate thingy. 🙂
Yum! What a beautiful pie. I’d have to omit the peanuts (my kids aren’t allergic, but they seem to think that peanuts are poisonous), but otherwise, this looks like a recipe I’d try at home. Thanks!
Thank you! You can substitute with walnuts or almonds. The salty crushed nuts do add to the overall taste. The peanut butter you can leave completely but you will have to add maybe cream to the chocolate, or else it’ll be too dense. I actually think it’s too dense even with the peanut butter. Good luck trying to convince your twins peanuts are okay. They sound so adorable. They ARE adorable! 🙂
Thanks! I bet I could sneak in the peanut butter (as long as my girls didn’t see the jar; they’re really not allergic to it!) because it’s mixed with chocolate. The crushed peanuts would be too obvious, though.
That pie looks amaaaaazing! 🙂 Love the selection this week – anything that doesn’t need the oven on for too long is great at this time of year! 😉
Thanks, Cathy! I hear ya, it’s too hot to have the oven on too long. Your garden seems to take it in stride. Mine is looking a little raggedy. Btw, one of these days I’ll have to post my perennial border. It looks so much like yours (your Tuesday views) but not as pretty, of course. 🙂
Would love to see it! 🙂
Love it! Of course you would add the Doo dads to the top – only you. When I see banana cream pie, I always think of my Dad. (Check out my post “thoughts of Dad” if you are curious why- it was written in January or February). Anyways, I think he would enjoy this very much. In fact, perhaps I will make it for him and send it to him. Thanks Angie for being a great hostess.
The doo dads were the most fun to make! I’ll check that post right away. if you make this for your dad, I’d suggest adding more bananas (it needs more, IMO) and substituting the dark chocolate with milk (son said dark wasn’t sweet enough) and maybe add more peanut butter. It was a little too dense. Thanks for being here! You’re the one who makes all this fun! <3
Dad would notice none of suggested alterations so I might make as is. He is having hip surgery next week in Arizona and it will be his “recovery pie “. Wgst is IMO?
Oh dear Angie, where are you? You have become sporadic. I miss you. Have you recuperated from your vacation yet?
You make even a ‘supposedly’ simple dessert into such a beauty. I love desserts that has surprise tastes in every bite. Gorgeous! 😛
I haven’t been home much lately. After that vacation, we went on another weekend trip, then there were get-togethers with friends, etc. In a week’s time, I’m going on another trip. Las Vegas and Palm Springs, maybe LA. 8 days or so. Then, there’ll be visitors from out of town. Phew….I’m tired just thinking about it! 🙂
Thanks, Fae! This was a very good pie, but there’s room for improvements. <3
If you ‘only’ drive 400 mi north from LA, we get to meet. 😉 Maybe in your next planning to the west? Have a fabulous time, Angie! By the time you are done with your summer wonder activities, I’m off to Japan for 6 weeks. xoxo <3
Off to another world tour, Fae? So soon? I love Japan, particularly the food! Eat my share for me while you’re there, will you? 🙂
Absolutely… for your entire family! <3
OMG, looks delicious!! 🙂
Thanks, Michael! Not as good as your caramel pie! 🙂
Wow, wow, wow, Angie! You rock! You are indeed the most thoughtful, creative, talented, nice, amazing host….but then again maybe I’m just trying to butter you up so I can have a GIANT piece of this gorgeous pie! Uh oh, now I’m in the mood to make dessert too! Yikes! Great post, my dear! 😀
And I’m in the mood for goat cheese cakes, mmm…..crunchy on the outside, soft and creamy inside! 🙂 You are so sweet. I hope you’re enjoying your summer. It’s going too fast for me! 🙂
Just crazy-speeding-by-days! What’s up with that, huh? But I do love the summer! 😀
YUM. 😉
Thank you, Bonnie! That’s all I need to hear! 🙂
Oh my this looks yummylicious…..looks like a lovely treat…..just can’t wait to bring this in my kitchen…..awesome
Thanks, Chitra! I’ve been telling people to add more bananas. I think it’ll taste better, and maybe substitute milk chocolate for the dark, if you like it sweeter.
Beautiful dessert Angie! I need to start baking, you guys are killing me with all these fabulous desserts! Happy FF!
Hahaha…it’s good to return the favor! You’re always making us drool with your offering. Thanks, hon! <3
Angie, love the chocolate peanut butter banana cream pie. It truly is a super easy dessert. Love the chocolate decorations on it.
It really is easy, Su! I’m so glad you like it, and the chocolate thingies, too. 🙂
Chocolate and peanut butter- it doesn’t get any better than that!! thanks for letting me participate in the link party for the first time. enjoy the weekend!
Thank you so much. Welcome to Fiesta Friday! Thrilled to have you! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Wow. Just reading about this incredible pudding had me salivating!
Thanks, Deb! If I succeeded in getting you to drool, I know I did well! lol.
That’s a delicious pie, Angie, and I love the chocolate decorations. Thanks for sharing it and have a great weekend! 🙂
Thanks so much, Ahila! The chocolate thingies were so fun to make and to nibble on! 🙂
I give up. You bloody women are determined to make me fat. Ter.
How DARE you post recipes like … most of those ?! :-} Sighh …
Still, Angie, there are one or two that don’t cause me to turn my head firmly away; and for those I thank you.
I have no idea how all of you are normal-sized !
😀
Who’s saying I’m normal, size or anything else? 🙂 Besides, fat is a state of mind, so they say. Can someone tell me what that means?
Glad to know there are recipes you like from FF. Next up, vegan green chia quinoa wheat healthy thing. Would you like that? 🙂
I was just boringly whingeing at Chitra https://wp.me/p4sVLC-sj on the topic of the limitations of my pantry, Angie … It is so very limited that many recipes are beyond my means on account of my not having either hardware (as in Chitra’s recipe there) or ingredients. And I simply can’t keep buying what are, to me, rather exotic ingredients, because I’ll never use them enough. I represent all those who live alone and have only one or two friends locally, you see.
There. I have finished bitching and feeling sorry for myself. Pro tem. 😉
These look quite sinful Angie! Love the cute chocolate decorations along with yum pie! Happy Fiesta Friday and admire the great work you are doing! ?
Thank you so much, Radhika! I’m so glad to get your approval. Happy FF to you, too! So thrilled to have you at the party mingling with us. 🙂
Aww, I’m quite humbled!
You’re doing such a brilliant job at FF dear. Kudos to you!
I’m a bit new to blogging and took me a while but I am having fun at your parties and it has been great meeting other people! 🙂
So beautifully presented… as always Angie! Sounds delicious.
Thanks, Margot! Has Saucy talked to you about co-hosting next FF? Would love to have my Aussie duo be in charge since I’ll be travelling. Let me know.
Absolutely! Just send me a quick note through my ‘Contact Me’ page to let me know exactly what my duties as co-host will be… 🙂
Stunning (and healthy)!
It’s so healthy! It’s got fruit and dark chocolate! Haha…
?
I bake something nearly everyday, and put oven on. It’s not that hot in Northern Ireland, but still I get way too hot in the kitchen!! Cold dessert without any heat is good idea in summer. 🙂 Thanks for FF again. I came empty handed this week (again! sorry), but I’ll look around what others bring. 🙂
You’re a cafe, so it’s understandable. I think maybe I should buy one of those small convection ovens so I won’t have to turn on the big oven in the summer. 🙂
You can still party with us even if you didn’t bring anything. 🙂
You keep on tooting that horn superstar, it looks fab!!!! ???
Aww, you are too sweet, Elaine! <3 <3 I need to find out how to do more emoticons!
Ha ha!
I know this taste delicious Angie. Bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter. These kinds of desserts make it hard to move away from dairy in my diet.
I can’t have dairy anymore either.
Vanilla pudding replacement
2 cups of your favorite milk alternative (soy, almond, coconut, ect.)
1/2 a cup sugar (less if the milk is sweetened)
1/4 cup corn starch (extra if you want if firmer).
Put all that on the stove at medium to high. stir it until it has ticked up.
take it off the heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
This pudding can be served warm, cooled, with other flavorings, as a pie filling. I use this basic recipe for a lot.
Like, replace half the liquid with OJ and add the zest of one orange. cool, put in a bow, top with gauche and yummm.
Thank you very much for the recommendations! I’m always on the lookout for substitutions.
Thanks, Gerard! I was going to suggest substitutions but looks like Robin took care of that and her recommendations are spot on! 🙂
I know you made this especially for me Angie! 🙂 I mean all my favorites. Chocolate, peanut butter and in a pie …what more could one want. It looks beautiful too!!
Of course! I’m so glad you could read between the lines. Didn’t want to say in the post, and make the other guests feel slighted, you know, but yes, all for you! haha… Thanks, Arlene! <3
Fab recipe Angie! Easy and yum!
Thanks, Sonal! It was pretty easy, and pretty yum! 🙂
How beautiful Angie! Love those little critters on top :))
Thanks, Loretta! The decorations were the most fun to make. I made extra just to munch on. 🙂
it looks delicious!
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh. Just… oh my gosh!
I take it you like the pie? 🙂 Thank you, Christine! Would you care to join our fiesta?
Wow Angie! I love that pie of yours! It looks incredible and I’m sure it tastes like that as well! 😀 Such beautiful photographs… Mouthwatering.
Happy Fiesta Friday!
Thanks, Sarah! The pie did taste really good, I’d give it an 8/10. I feel I can make further improvements, though, and make it a 10/10. 🙂
Wow! I can’t wait to see that improved version because this one already looks like a 10 to me! 😀
Such a wonderfully balanced pie. I made it and do recommend.
My personnel alterations were: i used a, gluten free, pot au choux crust and vegan vanilla pudding. that way everyone in my household could enjoy it.
Thanks, Robin! I’m so glad you enjoyed the pie, and frankly, your vegan GF substitutions sound even better!
So hard to go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate – and then factor in bananas – absolute bliss. I nearly came to the party with chocolate peanut butter granola but then I thought – heck I can’t take granola to a party – so I stayed home and was sad. I should have brought it along for those that had to stay overnight! 😉
Come and bring your granola, please, Lindy! We LOVE granola, especially chocolate peanut butter one. I’m having a late movie night at home with hubby tonight, wouldn’t mind munching on granola. 🙂
Oh you’re so sweet. I’ll bring it right over. enjoy the movie night. xo
Your pie looks incredible, Angie! I love pie anyway, but the combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and banana is over the top delicious. What a great idea! Love the decorations, too. So pretty!
Thanks, Shari, happy to see your approval! Btw, haven’t seen you at Fiesta Friday for a long time. Remember, you have a life-long standing invitation! 🙂
OK. You know how much I enjoy and appreciate your Fiesta Fridays. Even so, today I was pretty much blinded by this pie of yours. It’s incredible and reminds me of a banana cream pie that Mom made — only hers lacked chocolate.That’s what puts yours over th top, in my eyes. So, go ahead and toot your own horn. You’ve earned the right. 🙂
Thanks for the permission to toot. I always knew chocolate would take you far, even as far as getting toot license. From ChgoJohn. Means a lot to me! 🙂
This is just beautiful!!
Thank you so much, Gayatri! Haven’t seen you at FF lately. We sure miss you! 🙂
I know! I miss FF too! Just been crazy busy with work, so only managing one post a week sadly 🙁 I hope to be back soon!
Angie! Am I co-hosting this coming Friday? I’ve asked Margot and she’s up for it. If it’s next week that should be fine too, just let us know? (Just about getting organised again!)
Yes, please! Would 2 weeks in a row be too much? I’ll be away for more than a week, so I may not be able to select more co-hosts for the next FF. If you’re on board with it, I’ll let Margot know. So, you both will be in charge of FF27 & FF28.
I’m happy to do both, but if Margot can only do this week, I can still do the next one. Margot wants to dress up, I think. May be time for that Dame Edna party!!
Great, I’ll have you for both weeks! So who’s going as Dame Edna and who’s going to be her sidekick, what’s her name? Maybe you can switch roles the following week. Perfect!
Ahh that, my dear, will be the surprise!
You’re truly a genius, Angie. What an awesome combination! Love the tutorial on the decoration too. Sounds so easy, I should try it!
Thanks, Apsara. You’re so kind, but I’m not sure about the genius part :-). The chocolate decorations were so easy to make and were actually the most fun to make! <3
Oh my goodness… thanks so much for featuring my ice cream cake! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I LOVE Fiesta Fridays 🙂
No problem, MB, you deserve the feature. That ice cream cake looks and sounds amazing! So great to hear you enjoy Fiesta Fridays! <3
You are truly an artist in the kitchen. Your stunning creations and photographs are absolutely astounding. I’m so inspired ~
Thanks so much, C.e.! That was so nice of you to say. Have you checked out our Fiesta Fridays yet? Would love for you to join. 🙂

Your pie looks amazing Angie!! And so fun that my little pops for Jhuls were featured! 😀 <3 Thanks for your super sweet words!!
Thanks and you’re welcome! You deserved the spotlight, Lori, for being such a sweet friend! 🙂
Blissful creations! The colours of these sweet delights are beautiful.
I made your amazing wonderful pie, my dear friend! It was just stunning & fabulous even! xxxxx
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the party. July was a rough month for me so I’m glad to be back and see all the amazing creations. Gold leaf cucpakes, fruity brownies, and even your little something something on the banana peanut butter cream pie. Talk about impressive. It’s only 5 in the morning and already my sweet tooth is alive and well today.
Even if I don’t like bananas this cake looks super delicious! And your photography is just wonderful! 🙂
Looks soooooo yummy!
That pie looks divine!
Thanks, Mrs. G!
I remember this gorgeous pie❤️❤️Still love it it’s so beautiful and delicious!!!
Thanks, Suzanne! Scratching my head right now about what to do with the rest of the posts that I’ve moved. I can’t decide if I should keep the old dates or not.
Well it’s a tough one but you don’t want to discard great recipes like that pie. It’s a classic!’
That’s how I feel. That’s why I’ve been thinking about changing my permalinks so they don’t have dates on them. I don’t know if that’s going to mess up SEO or whatever. More tech stuff I’m clueless about!!
I am hopeless with that stuff?
This is one beautiful pie! You went over the top with your chocolate decorations! I love that!
Thanks, Julie! I consider this one of my top 10 desserts! ?
How is it possible I’ve never seen this on your blog before!! OMG! I’m blaming you, lol. There have been times I needed this and I didn’t know about it! I am going to make this pie at the earliest opportunity!! When there are very few people around so there’s more left, lol!
This is from the old blog. I had to move it here since it’s one of my best desserts. Really is great. I would put more bananas and definitely add the heavy cream in the chocolate layer!

Beautiful pie.
Thanks!
Chocolate, peanut butter, banana, vanilla pudding, whipped cream… wow, so many of my favourites in one dessert. I’ve made this pie once before but it pales in comparison to this version!
Thanks, Nathan! I’ve been meaning to make it again but keep forgetting. So many desserts, so little time…sigh ?
Chocolate and banana! A fave combo in the family. 🙂
Thanks! Glad you like it!
What did you use for the whipped topping? Yours looks so nice. Did you use cool whip, readi whip, make your own whipped cream, etc.?
Can’t wait to make this pie! Looks so yum!
Must have been cool whip from the look of it (bright white) but you can certainly whip your own cream, which will taste lovely.
Is there a version of this without the peanut butter? I would love to make this recipe, but wondering how to make it while still having the chocolate layer be soft enough to eat. Please help
So I think you can make this without peanut butter but you will need to whip the chocolate ganache. Essentially you’ll be making some kind of mousse. I haven’t tried it but I think it’ll work and possibly even be better. Let me know how it turns out!
