“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 recipe for Low Carb Keto Peanut Butter Pie. (commerical below)
You really can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate.
This low carb version of peanut butter pie is based on a great recipe that I found on Simply So Healthy and a chocolate pie crust from Keto Connect.
Put them both together and you’ve got a tasty slice of peanut butter pie with only 2g net carbs.
This pie has a 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 delicious treat.
Because chocolate and peanut butter truly are “two great tastes that taste great together.”

I made this pie for an open house and had 3 people ask me for the recipe! I felt all of the ingredients blended well and the texture was good. I did not do the chocolate drizzle on top (ran out of time) but I will try it next time.

It would be helpful to know what size Springfield pan is used in this recipe.
Sure, it’s a standard 9" pan. I’ll add that to the recipe. Thanks.
