Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Pie
 
 
Yield: 8-10 servings
Ingredients
  • 28 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs (do not remove cream filling)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large bananas, thinly sliced, plus more for decoration if desired
  • 2 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural peanut butter)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
Directions
  1. Make the base of the pie. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter and salt. Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup and your fingers to press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the banana slices in an even layer on the bottom of the crust and set aside.
  2. Make the filling. Place a metal mixing bowl or the metal bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer along with the metal beaters or beater for 5-10 minutes. Remove and add 1 cup of the heavy cream (make sure your cream is cold) and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, use the paddle attachment to beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until creamy and smooth. Add the granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of the vanilla extract then beat until combined. Use a spatula and gently fold in the whipped cream from the previous step. Spread the peanut butter filling into the springform pan on top of the banana slices.
  4. Make the whipped cream. Place the metal mixing bowl or the metal bowl of a stand mixer back in the freezer along with the metal beaters or beater for 5-10 minutes. Remove and add the remaining cup of the heavy cream (make sure your cream is cold), powdered sugar and the remaining ¾ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Spoon over the top of the pie, cover and freeze until firm, about 6 hours. Let pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving and top with additional banana slices if desired.
