I love how this no bake banana Oreo cream pie comes together with almost no effort and delivers a rich, creamy dessert that feels bakery-worthy. I make it when I want something sweet, cool, and comforting without turning on the oven, and the combination of bananas, Oreos, and cream filling never disappoints.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it is simple, quick, and perfect for warm days. I don’t need baking skills or special equipment, and I can prepare it ahead of time. I also enjoy how the crunchy Oreo crust contrasts with the smooth cream cheese filling and fresh bananas.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
I start by mixing the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until everything is evenly coated. I press this mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a pie dish to form the crust, then I place it in the refrigerator to chill.
In a bowl, I beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. I add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the filling is creamy and well combined. I gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light.
I spread a thin layer of the cream filling over the chilled crust, arrange the banana slices evenly on top, and then cover them with the remaining cream mixture. I smooth the top and refrigerate the pie for several hours until it is fully set.
Servings And Timing
I usually slice this pie into 8 servings. Preparation takes about 20 minutes, and I let it chill for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving. I find it tastes even better when chilled overnight.
Variations
I sometimes add a layer of chocolate ganache or chocolate syrup over the bananas for extra richness. When I want more texture, I mix chopped Oreos into the filling. I also like swapping bananas for strawberries or using a chocolate cookie crust for a deeper flavor.
Storage/Reheating
I store this pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I don’t reheat it since it is meant to be served cold, and I find the texture is best straight from the fridge.
FAQs
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
I often make it a day in advance because it sets better and the flavors blend nicely.
Can I use homemade whipped cream?
I like using homemade whipped cream, and it works perfectly as long as I whip it to stiff peaks.
How do I keep the bananas from browning?
I lightly brush the banana slices with lemon juice before layering them to slow browning.
Can I freeze this pie?
I can freeze it for up to one month, but I prefer it fresh because freezing slightly changes the texture.
What pan size works best?
I usually use a standard 9-inch pie dish, which gives the best crust and filling balance.
Conclusion
I always enjoy making this no bake banana Oreo cream pie because it is easy, reliable, and loved by everyone who tries it. When I need a quick dessert that looks impressive and tastes indulgent, this recipe is one I gladly return to.
