  1. Let the pie crust sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes so the peanut butter spreads more easily.

  2. Spoon the coco bananas peanut butter into the chocolate crust and spread it evenly to the edges with a spatula.

  3. Spoon the coco whipped cream or Cool Whip over the peanut butter and spread it smooth, or pipe it in swirls.
