No-Bake Banana Split Pie

Banana Split Pie? Yes! Because the only thing better than a banana split from your favorite ice cream shop is an easy, no-bake Banana Split Pie from your very own kitchen. Obviously, this dessert is a hit at any summer party, but it’s great any time of year. Ready to dig in?

Easy No-Bake Dessert With Instant Pudding

When it comes to easy desserts, instant pudding reigns supreme—especially when it’s paired with frozen whipped topping. I’ve shared lots of pies made with pudding mix and Cool Whip, but I think this Banana Split Pie wins the prize for being the most unique. Instead of scoops of ice cream served over a sliced banana, we’re serving up all of your fave banana split toppings on a base of creamy banana pudding!

The best thing about the recipe—well, the second best thing, after how good it tastes—is that it is so flippin’ simple to make. You only need 10 minutes to put it all together, and that’s being generous. The hardest part is waiting an hour for it to chill so you can eat it!

Ingredients For No-Bake Banana Split Pie

See the recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

• Pre-made graham cracker pie crust – You can mix things up here and use a traditional pie crust or a chocolate crust instead.
• Milk – Use whole milk for the creamiest, dreamiest filling.
• Instant banana pudding mix – If you’re not a big fan of banana pudding, vanilla will work just as well!
• Frozen whipped topping – Also a key ingredient in my Cool Whip Pie!
• Bananas – It is a Banana Split Pie, after all.
• Crushed pineapple – Like a real, old-fashioned banana split!
• Walnut pieces – Chopped roasted peanuts would do in a pinch, or make it nut-free if you prefer.
• Chocolate sauce – Get the good, fudge-y kind.
• Maraschino cherries – Although no banana split (or Banana Split Pie) is complete without a cherry on top, you can also swap them for strawberry slices.

How to Make No-Bake Banana Split Pie

1. Make the Filling: Combine the milk and instant pudding mix in a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes at low speed. Fold in a cup of the whipped topping.

2. Chill: Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared pie crust and pop the pie in the fridge. Let it chill until it’s set—it’ll take about an hour.

3. Add the Fruit: Take the pie out of the fridge and top it with the banana slices, then the crushed pineapple.

4. Top the Banana Split Pie: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pineapple, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Sprinkle with walnuts, then drizzle chocolate sauce over the top and finish with the maraschino cherries.

5. Chill Again: Return the pie to the fridge and let it chill for 1 to 3 hours.

6. Serve: Cut the pie into 8 slices and serve.
