What You’ll Need
This no bake dessert is made with many of the same ingredients as a classic banana split. See the recipe card below for more measurements.
- Graham crackers – Crushed into crumbs to create the crust for the pie.
- Butter – Unsalted butter holds the crumbs together.
- Cream cheese – Softened to room temperature so it combines easily.
- Powdered sugar – Sweetens the cream cheese filling.
- Banana pudding – Be sure to use instant pudding. You’ll need just the powder, not the prepared pudding.
- Bananas – Slices of yellow, ripe bananas make up a layer of this pie.
- Pineapple – A classic banana split ingredient. Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple first.
- Toppings – Whipped topping, walnuts, and cherries are added to the pie before serving.

How to Make Banana Split Pie
This banana split pie recipe makes an easy no bake dessert with all the flavors of a classic banana split.
- Make the pie crust. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse. Press the crumbs into a pie pan. Refrigerate.
- Make the banana mixture. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the banana pudding. Pour into the prepared crust.
- Chill. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
- Add the toppings. Add a layer of banana slices and the pineapple, then add the whipped topping, fudge, sprinkles, walnuts, and cherries. Chill in the fridge or freezer to set. Then slice and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing this banana split dessert.
- Press the crumbs firmly into the pan. Use your fingers or the bottom of a glass to firmly press the crumbs into the pan. If they’re not packing in well, the crust will crumble when you serve this pie.
- Use vanilla pudding. If you don’t have banana cream pudding on hand or you prefer less of a banana flavor, you can use instant vanilla pudding in place of the banana cream pudding.
- Add the toppings before serving. Wait to add the whipped topping and other garnishes until 30 minutes before serving, as the whipped cream can melt.
Can This Be Prepared In Advance?
Absolutely. In fact, you have to. But while 4 to 6 hours in advance is required so the pie can set, I definitely recommend preparing a day before and chilling it overnight, to give it plenty of time to set.
Proper Storage
- Fridge. No bake banana split pie will last for 2-3 days in the fridge. Just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container.
