Is there a better combo than peanut butter and chocolate? I’m here with a new keto dessert recipe that you are bound to love if you enjoy this classic combination as much as I do. No Bake Peanut Butter Pie. It’s as delectable as it sounds. It has a few names: low carb peanut butter pie, keto peanut butter pie, sugar-free peanut butter pie, frozen peanut butter pie… but they all mean the same thing. TONS of decadent peanut butter flavor in a creamy, cold dessert that’s sure to impress. It’s sugar-free and super low in carbs (just 7 grams net carbs per slice!), but truly a dessert that everyone (no matter if they are low carb or not) will love. Which means there isn’t a bad time to make it. This keto peanut butter pie recipe was originally published on June 21, 2019, but the cookies used in the original post (for the pie crust) are no longer available. The post was republished in August 2020 to update the ingredients with ones currently available and to answer some additional recipe questions.
How To Make No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
This low carb peanut butter pie recipe has a few steps, but they all come together quickly and easily! The prep time takes about 15 minutes, with some chilling and freezing time in between.
Make the frozen peanut butter pie crust. Process peanut butter and double chocolate cookies in a food processor, until crumbly. Then, add butter and powdered allulose and process again, until the mixture is crumbly and uniform.
TIP: Stick to powdered sweetener, not granulated. Since this is a no bake peanut butter crust, it might be a bit grainy if you use granulated.
Chill the dough. Then press into pie pan and freeze crust for 20 minutes. Mix up the healthy peanut butter pie filling. Using a mixer, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered allulose. Beat in vanilla and heavy cream, until the filling reaches the consistency of frosting.
Make whipped cream. Beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form…
…Then gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
Fill the crust and freeze. Use a spatula to spread the filling over the pie crust, then freeze for at least an hour.
TIP: If you freeze it for too long and it gets rock hard, just let it sit on the counter until it’s soft enough to cut but still firm.
Add toppings. These are optional, but make the pie look really pretty! I topped mine with more crumbled peanut butter and chocolate cookies to add a little crunch… so good! A drizzle of melted peanut butter or sugar-free chocolate would also be delicious.
Is peanut butter pie healthy?
This gluten free chocolate peanut butter pie is decadent and rich, but has great nutrition stats. Each slice has 314 calories and just 7 grams net carbs.
Can I use a different sweetener?
I highly recommend Besti Powdered Allulose for the best low carb peanut butter pie. If you don’t have it, my keto sweeteners guide has other options you can compare – and use the sweetener conversion chart to find out how much to use of whatever sweetener you have. Just make sure it’s powdered.
What kind of cookies can I use for the crust?
The cookies I used for this pie when I first made it in 2019 are no longer available. I now recommend these cookies (combination of double chocolate and peanut butter flavors!), and the recipe card below has the right amount of these to use. Enter code WHOLESOMEYUM for 15% off the cookies. If you like, you can also use homemade keto cookies for the crust – it’s just more work. This keto peanut butter cookie recipe and these flourless chocolate cookies make a fine replacement.
Is there another crust option without using cookies?
Sure! You can make almond flour pie crust instead, with the same filling. To make it a no-bake crust, replace the egg with an additional 2 tablespoons ghee or butter.
Keto Peanut Butter Pie Storage Instructions
Can you make frozen peanut butter pie ahead?
Yes, you need to make this keto peanut butter pie ahead so that it has time to properly chill.
How to store low carb peanut butter pie
This low carb peanut butter pie is best stored in the freezer. You want the filling to stay firm, and the freezer is the best for that. When you’re ready to serve, pull it out and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before slicing into it.
Can you freeze peanut butter pie?
Yes, this no bake peanut butter pie recipe can be frozen, in fact, it’s meant to be frozen! Because we aren’t baking anything in this pie, we freeze the crust before adding the filling and then we freeze the whole pie until its firm.
