Description

This peanut butter pie offers a delightful experience that many will find indistinguishable from traditional, higher-carb versions. Its allure lies in the harmonious blend of creamy and rich peanut butter with a light, airy texture, thanks to the incorporation of whipped cream. The filling, a velvety smooth mixture of peanut butter and a sugar alternative, achieves a perfect balance of sweetness and nutty flavor.

This luscious blend is then cradled within a homemade chocolate pie crust, providing a satisfyingly firm yet tender base that complements the creamy filling. Once prepared, the pie is chilled to allow the filling to set, resulting in a dessert that holds its shape beautifully and offers a cool, refreshing sensation with each bite. A delicate dusting of chocolate shavings adds a touch of elegance, enhancing both the visual appeal and the overall flavor profile.

While this peanut butter pie caters to a vegetarian lifestyle, it's important to note that it is not vegan. The success of this recipe hinges on using a natural peanut butter that is free from added sugars and vegetable oils. A touch of salt is acceptable, even preferable, to enhance the peanut butter's inherent flavors.

For the sweetener, a powdered erythritol is recommended, because it closely mimics the taste and texture of traditional cane sugar. However, alternative powdered sweeteners, such as monk fruit blends or stevia, can be used, adjusting the quantity to suit individual preferences. Given the pie's richness, smaller servings are advisable, allowing one to fully appreciate the concentrated flavors without being overwhelmed.

This peanut butter pie also freezes well, making it a convenient option for preparing ahead of time or preserving leftovers for future enjoyment. Its decadent nature makes it an ideal treat to share during celebrations or special occasions. The combination of textures and flavors creates a memorable dessert that is sure to please peanut butter enthusiasts.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, frac {1}{4} cup of powdered sweetener, frac {1}{4} teaspoon kosher salt, and 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well until the mixture goes from dry to moistened throughout.
    2.
    In a standard glass pie dish, press the crust mixture into the pan and up the sides. Press firmly and evenly so the crust is uniform throughout. Use your fingers to mold the dough so the crust edges are rounded. Bake the crust in the oven for 10-12 minutes until puffed and cooked through. Allow the crust to cool at room temperature for a while before placing it in the fridge to cool completely.
    3.
    In the meantime, work on making the peanut butter filling. Combine the natural peanut butter, frac {3}{4} cup of powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough to fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter.
    4.
    Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add half of the whipped cream to the peanut butter mixture and mix it together. You do not need to worry about folding the whipped cream in, this step is to lighten the otherwise heavy mixture. Then add the remaining whipped cream and fold in gently so as to not lose the air in the whipped cream.
    5.
    Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread smooth with an offset spatula. Place the pie into the fridge to chill for several hours until firm enough to cut. Granted the pie will stay creamy and not incredibly firm, so keep that in mind! Slice and serve once the pie is chilled. Top pie with chocolate shavings if desired for presentation, but optional.
