Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • 12-inch pie plate
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

Crust

Peanut butter pie filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (264 grams)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (1 block)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup powdered erythritol (144 grams)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (super cold!)

Whipped cream topping (optional)

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (super cold!)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Toppings (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a pie plate.

Crust

  • Combine 1.5 cups almond flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 5 tablespoons granular erythritol in a mixing bowl. Combine 6 tablespoons melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then pour into the dry mixture. Press together with your hands or a spoon until a wet sand-like texture is achieved.
  • Press the crust mixture into a greased pie pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool completely before adding the filling

Filling

  • Mix 1 cup peanut butter with 8 ounces of cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth. Add in ½ teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons vanilla, then sift in 1 cup powdered sweetener, then mix again to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, with an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, and mix until completely combined, smooth, and creamy.

Chill

  • Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled pie crust. Place in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight so it can firm up.

Toppings

  • When it's time to serve, mix 1 cup of cold heavy cream in a large bowl or with a stand mixer for the whipped cream topping. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 2-3 tablespoons powdered sweetener to taste, and a pinch of salt. Whip until nice and fluffy. (Don't add the whipped cream until just before serving, or it will deflate.)
  • Melt ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips in the microwave on 50% power with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in 15 second increments, stirring in between each increment until completely melted.

Assemble and enjoy!

  • Spread the whipped cream over top of the pie, and garnish with roasted peanuts, and melted chocolate if desired. Cut into slices, and enjoy!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. This pie also freezes well! To freeze, place in a freezer-safe container in the freezer, where it can keep for up to 4 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before enjoying!

Notes

  • The nutrition facts include all toppings and whipped cream. 
  • Use creamy peanut butter. We don't recommend natural creamy peanut butter, which may come as a shock. We highly recommend baking with standardized versions, like JIF, so you get the same results every time.
  • Let the pie chill for at least 4 hours. We know that it's hard to wait, but the filling needs time to firm up. If you don't give it adequate time to chill, it won't have the correct structure and the slices will just fall apart.
  • Sweeten to taste. If you're making this recipe for the first time, taste as you go! Since there are no eggs in this recipe, and everything can be enjoyed raw, taste as you go and add more sweetener if desired.
