Meet this Thanksgiving's favorite cream pie - Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie!





This pie is rich and creamy and packed with peanut butter and banana flavor. The pie starts with a buttery nutter butter crust, a layer of fresh and fragrant sliced banana, creamy dreamy banana cream pudding, more sliced banana, crumbled Nutter Butters, luscious peanut butter whipped cream, and more crumbled Nutter Butters. Whew! That's a mouthful.

Okay, let's make the crust.

Now, whip up that luscious peanut butter whipped cream. I used a natural peanut butter, but any pb will do. Heap the cream onto your pie and spread evenly.

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie
(makes 1 deep dish pie)

INGREDIENTS
16 oz package Nutter Butter sandwich cookies, divided
4 Tbsp melted butter
5.1 oz packet banana cream pudding/pie filling
2 1/2 cups cold whole milk
3 large bananas, sliced in 1/4 inch slices
1 pint whipping cream
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp vanilla pudding mix
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

DIRCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Zap 20 Nutter Butters in a food processor to make crumbs. Mix in melted butter and press into a deep dish pie tin/plate.
3. Bake for 8 minutes and then allow to cool completely.
4. Whisk banana pudding mix with cold milk for 3 to 5 minutes until thick.
5. Line the bottom of your cooled crust with banana slices and pour in the pudding. Top with another layer of banana slices and then crumble about 4 or 5 more Nutter Butters over the slices. Set in the fridge while you make the whipped cream.
6. In a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to whisk together the whipping cream, peanut butter, Tbsp of vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Start low. As the cream thickens, increase to high and whisk until stiff peaks form. Keep an eye on it so as not to over-whip.
7. Pile the peanut butter cream on top of your pie and spread evenly.
8. Crumble a few more Nutter Butters on top.
9. Refrigerate pie for 2 to 4 hours until firm and set.
10. Keep refrigerated.
