Fluffernutter Pie

Today’s recipe, “The Fluffiest Fluffernutter Pie,” may be the fluffiest pie you have ever eaten! The Fluffernutter Pie is inspired by two historic sandwiches. The New England fluffernutter sandwich and Elvis Presley’s grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich. This is where North meets South and bakes a perfect pie together.

What Is Fluffernutter Pie?

Well, a traditional fluffernutter is a sandwich comprised of peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread. However, this combo seems more pie-worthy than sandwich-worthy, don’t you agree? The Fluffiest Fluffernutter Pie includes peanut butter, cream cheese, and cream whipped up into a giant cloud of yum. The filling goes in a pie crust over a layer of fresh bananas, and is crowned with toasted marshmallow fluff and honey-roasted peanuts. Yes, yes, it is very rich.

Peanut Butter Banana Pie Cooking Notes

The Fluffiest Fluffernutter Pie is a peanut butter lover’s paradise. I chose to make a simple butter crust for this pie. It is a nice contrast to the creamy nutty sweetness of the interior. Bake the pie crust and cool before moving on to the filling. Layer banana slices over the bottom of a cooked and cooled crust. One or two bananas will do, but if you are bananas for bananas go ahead and add another. Whipping the heavy cream separately from the heavier ingredients will ensure more air is introduced, to create a much lighter texture.

Pro Tips

Chilling your pie before you top it is a vital step. It doesn’t need to be frozen, just very firm and frigid to ensure your peanut butter mixture layer doesn’t sink. Meringue and marshmallow fluff conspire into a dreamy adornment glittered with sweet peanut confetti. To achieve a lovely toasted top you must sit in front of the oven set on low broil, watching carefully, oven mitts on, ready to retrieve your pie at the peak of perfection. Burning happens in a blink. I pull a chair up and crack the oven door open, keeping watch and turning the pie to ensure browning all around. It sounds tedious, but it only takes a few moments. The results are totally worth attention to detail… Peanut Butter Banana Pie is truly something special to experience.

Recipe Variations and Swaps

Toppings – Garnish the pie with roasted peanuts, mini marshmallows, additional fresh banana slices, or chocolate shavings.
