DESSERTS: LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER PIE (click here to print)

Low Carb Peanut Butter Pie

Crust:

  • 1 c. natural peanut butter, (I use creamy for the pie crust)
  • 3/4 c. xylitol (this is a low carb natural sweetener)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 c. almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Mix the peanut butter, xylitol, egg & vanilla.  Add almond flour, salt and baking soda and stir until throughly mixed.
Press half the cookie dough into a greased pie plate.  Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Let crust cool and transfer to refrigerator to speed up process.

For the Filling:

  • 3/4 c. low fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3/4 c. erythirtol, powdered (pulse in your blender or food processor to make a powder)
  • 1 c. creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 c. whipping cream, whipped and sweetened
  • 1/2 c. sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil, for drizzling
Once crust is thoroughly cooled, mix the cream cheese and powdered erythirtol well until thoroughly blended.  Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, salt, & whipped whipping cream.  Mix until well blended and same consistency.  Pour into cooled cookie crust and freeze for at least 2 hours.
It is best to cut this pie directly out of the freezer and store in the refrigerator.
