Ingredients
Scale
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 10 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 large bananas, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
- Cacao nibs, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add melted butter and mix until a dough forms.
- Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork and bake for 18–20 minutes. Let crust cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat condensed milk, cream cheese, and peanut butter until smooth.
- Arrange banana slices evenly over the cooled crust. Pour peanut butter filling over bananas and spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream over the chilled pie.
- Sprinkle cacao nibs on top and serve chilled.
Notes
- Make sure bananas are ripe but firm for best texture.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
- Pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
- For added crunch, mix crushed peanuts into the whipped topping.
