Ingredients Breakdown

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  Forms the base of the pie, providing a crunchy and sweet foundation.

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  Helps bind the crumbs together, creating a rich, buttery crust.

• 1/4 cup sugar
  Sweetens the crust, balancing the graham cracker’s slight bitterness.

For the Filling:

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  Adds natural sweetness, flavor, and a smooth texture to the filling.

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  Rich and creamy, this is the star flavor of the filling.

• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  Provides a rich, tangy base for the filling, creating a cheesecake-like texture.

• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  Sweetens the filling and gives it a smooth, creamy consistency.

For the Caramel Topping:

• 1 cup caramel sauce
  The sweet, sticky layer that adds decadence and a buttery flavor to the pie.

• 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  Adds crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the peanut butter filling.

• Sliced bananas, for garnish
  Fresh banana slices for a fruity garnish and extra sweetness on top.

Tips and Tricks

• Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese – Ensures a smooth, lump-free filling.

• Extra Creamy Peanut Butter – Avoid natural peanut butter, as it can separate.

• Prevent Banana Browning – Toss banana slices in lemon juice before garnishing.

Variations & Customizations

• Chocolate Lovers – Add a layer of melted chocolate under the caramel.

• Nut-Free Option – Substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.

• Lighter Version – Use reduced-fat cream cheese and sugar-free caramel.

Pairing Suggestions

• Whipped Cream – Adds extra creaminess.

• Vanilla Ice Cream – Perfect for a decadent dessert.

• Coffee or Milk – Balances the sweetness.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate for up to 3 days (cover tightly).

• Freeze (without fresh banana garnish) for up to 1 month—thaw before serving.

Popular Questions

Can I use a different crust?

Yes! Try Oreo crumbs, pretzel crumbs, or a shortbread crust.

How do I prevent the filling from being too soft?

Ensure proper chilling time—overnight is best for firmness.

Can I make this without bananas?

Yes, but the texture will be denser—add a splash of milk if needed.
