Key Ingredients
All the ingredients and their exact amounts are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Oreo Cookies: Crushed Oreos make the chocolaty, crunchy crust, creating the perfect pairing with the peanut butter and banana filling.
- Cream Cheese: Gives the filling that rich, smooth, slightly tangy cheesecake-like texture.
- Peanut Butter: Adds creaminess and that classic peanut butter-chocolate combo everyone loves.
- Chocolate Pudding Mix: Creates a soft, chocolatey layer and helps the filling set up nice and thick.
- Bananas: Add natural sweetness and that classic banana split-style flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate and peanut butter.
- Cool Whip: Lightens everything up and makes the filling fluffy instead of heavy.
How to Make No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Pie
- Mix the crust ingredients and press them firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan. Chill until set.
- Beat all the peanut butter cheesecake except the Cool Whip in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Then, fold in the Cool Whip until light and fluffy.
- Whisk the chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth, and let it thicken slightly. Then, fold in Cool Whip until creamy.
- Alternate adding scoops of the peanut butter and chocolate mixtures to the pan until it’s halfway filled.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas. Continue layering with the peanut butter and chocolate mixtures until the pan is full, and smooth out the top.
- Top with more Cool Whip and chill until fully set.
- Top with peanut butter drizzle, dollops of Cool Whip around the edges, and chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy
Expert Tips
- Fully soften your cream cheese for the best filling texture.
- Ripe but firm bananas offer the best balance of sweetness and firmness.
- Chill the pie for at least 3 to 4 hours, so it fully sets. Overnight is better!
- Fold the Cool Whip into the other layer mixtures gently to keep everything light and fluffy.
- Slice the bananas right before adding them to the pie to prevent browning.
- Using a sprinform pan makes it easy to remove and slice the pie for a prettier presentation.
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Pie FAQs
Yes! This pie is perfect for making ahead. In fact, it’s even better after chilling for several hours or overnight, allowing the layers to fully set and flavors to blend.
You can freeze it, but the texture may change slightly once thawed. For best results, enjoy it freshly chilled rather than frozen.
Use ripe but firm bananas. Overripe bananas can become too soft and mushy in the layers. On the other hand, bananas that aren’t ripe enough will be too firm and slightly sour.
Absolutely! A pre-made Oreo or graham cracker crust works well if you want to save time.
Yes, you can use homemade whipped cream as a substitute. Just make sure it’s whipped to stiff peaks for the right consistency.
This usually happens if it hasn’t chilled long enough. Make sure to refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully firm.

Instructions

Oreo Crust: In a medium sized bowl add the Oreo cookies, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined. Pour into an ungreased springform pan. Using your hands lightly press the crust into the pan. Make sure all sides and bases are even. Place in the refrigerator for 30 min.
Filling: In a bowl of a stand mixer add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1⁄2 cup peanut butter. Mix on medium to high until creamy. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in ½ cup Cool Whip until it is light and fluffy. Set aside. In another large bow, l add the chocolate pudding mix and milk. Whisk until fully combined. Set that to the side to thicken. Add in 1 cup Cool Whip and gently fold it in with the chocolate pudding mixture. Using a large cookie / ice cream scoop begin to scoop the peanut butter mixture and the chocolate mixture into the crust. Alternate each one until half way full. Spread the mixtures evenly in the crust. Lay your banana slices on top of the filling. Now, continue to add your mixtures until full. Spread the mixtures evenly for a smooth surface. Add 1 ½ cups of Cool Whip and spread it evenly on top of the pie. Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours or until completely chilled. Place 1/4 cup of peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 15-20 seconds. Stir, should be melted. Drizzle the warm peanut butter on top of the pie. Place a decorative dollop of whip cream on the edge of the pie and add chocolate shavings if using on top. Garnish with fresh sliced bananas on top of the dallops of whip cream.
