How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Pie

Now, let’s get down to the good stuff. Making this pie is a breeze, and I promise it’s going to be the highlight of your week!

1. The Crust: A Chocolatey Base of Awesomeness

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and melted butter until it resembles a crumbly dough. Press this glorious mixture into a pie pan, creating a sturdy crust. Bake it for about 8–10 minutes until it's set and fragrant. You’ll want to smell that chocolate goodness wafting through your kitchen!

2. The Filling: Peanut Butter Perfection

While your crust cools, it’s time for the filling! In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sweetener until you have a luscious, smooth mixture. Now, whip your heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks (this is where the magic happens). Gently fold that whipped cream into your peanut butter mix until it’s light and airy. Your taste buds are already doing a happy dance!

3. Assemble & Chill: The Anticipation Builds

Once your crust has cooled, pour that dreamy peanut butter filling into the shell, smoothing it out like you’re spreading happiness. Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you’re a champion of patience. The hardest part? Waiting! Trust me, it’ll be worth it.

4. Optional Toppings: The Cherry on Top

When you’re ready to serve, unleash your creativity! Top your pie with sugar-free whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, or some sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra touch of flair. Go wild—it’s your masterpiece!

Storage and Serving Suggestions

Storage

• Refrigerator: This Keto Peanut Butter Pie keeps wonderfully in the fridge for up to 5-7 days. Store it in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap to ensure it stays fresh. The cold temperature keeps the pie firm, and the flavors actually improve after a day or two as they meld together.
• Freezer: If you're making this ahead of time or saving leftovers, you can freeze the pie for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap each slice individually in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, just move a slice to the fridge and let it thaw overnight. It’s just as creamy and delicious as when it was first made.

Serving Suggestions

• Fresh Out of the Fridge: Serve chilled for a smooth, creamy texture that melts in your mouth. The contrast between the crisp almond flour crust and the creamy peanut butter filling is absolutely divine when cold.
• Toppings: If you want to elevate the presentation, top each slice with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, a drizzle of keto-friendly chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for added texture.
• Dessert Bar: Hosting a keto-friendly get-together? This pie is the perfect centerpiece for a dessert bar. Pair it with other low-carb treats like keto brownies, coconut fat bombs, or even some fresh berries to keep things light and refreshing.
• Portion Control: Because this pie is rich and satisfying, smaller slices are often more than enough to satisfy those sweet cravings. Trust me, a little goes a long way!
