Peanut Butter pie can be made with or without the crust. It will hold up without the crust however the crust is so good. This recipe can be part of a low-carb, keto, sugar free, gluten-free diet. This filling has a base of peanut butter and cream cheese, which is then lightened by folding in whipped cream. Drizzle some chocolate on top and you’ve got a truly delicious treat.

Notes:

Gentle Sweet contains some xylitol for that perfect frosting like taste, but is sensibly blended with a small amount of Stevia extract and non GMO erythritol. As a result it’s a smoothly powdered gentle sweetener that is still twice as sweet as both sugar and Xylitol.

Ingredients:

Chocolate Syrup:

Preparation:

Mix all the crust ingredients together and press into the bottom of a greased 9 inch pie pan. In a medium mixing bowl beat softened cream cheese with natural peanut butter, Gentle Sweet and vanilla. Add heavy whipping cream and beat until mixture begins to thicken (be careful not to over-mix). Spread mixture into prepared crust and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. If you make your Keto Peanut Butter Pie in the morning by the time dinner is done, so your pie should be set. Store in the refrigerator.

Chocolate Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine all syrup ingredients and heat until Gentle Sweet and cocoa powder melt and you have a chocolate syrup. Remove from heat and let stand for 20-30 minutes. Syrup will thicken as it stands. Drizzle over slices of the pie when serving.
