"Hey!  You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!  You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!"

I've been thinking about that old commercial for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as I made today's Keto Peanut Butter Pie recipe.  Apologies in advance for sharing this brain worm.  

What is Peanut Butter Pie? 

Traditional Peanut Butter Pie is made using creamy peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and heavy cream.  These ingredients are whipped together and poured into a baked flour-based pie crust.  It makes for a very decadent peanut butter dessert.

Who invented Peanut Butter Pie?

The history of Peanut Butter Pie is a little bit murky, but it seems to have originated in the American South in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s.  (The South was lousy with both peanuts and pies at that time, so this theory checks out.)  But it couldn’t have happened without the efforts of George Washington Carver, champion of the peanut.  While he didn’t actually invent peanut butter, he definitely gave it a push into popularity.

Is Peanut Butter Pie Keto friendly?

Classic Peanut Butter Pie is chocked full of sugar and white flour, so no, it’s not Keto friendly.  But fear not, I’ve got a recipe for Keto Peanut Butter pie that uses erythritol for its sweetener and almond flour for the crust, so my version has just 2g net carbs per slice.

What’s in this low carb take on Peanut Butter Pie?

This pie has a baked chocolate crumble crust made with cocoa powder and almond flour, and a creamy filling made from peanut butter, cream cheese and whipped cream.  Drizzle some chocolate on top and you've got a truly fabulous Keto dessert.

Is it a no-bake pie?

Yes and no.  I could technically call it a no-bake pie because you don’t cook the filling, but you do need to bake the crust… so it’s a toss up.  It’s very easy to make, in any case.

What can you eat with this Sugar Free Peanut Butter Pie?

Peanut Butter Pie is often topped with whipped cream.  You might also want to serve it with a scoop of Sugar Free Ice Cream.  Decorate the top with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel and you’ve got a great thing going.    

When you combine peanut butter and chocolate, you really can’t go wrong.

Because chocolate and peanut butter truly are "two great tastes that taste great together".
