Healthier Peanut Butter Pie

This velvety smooth peanut butter pie is low sugar, gluten free, and has a protein boost! It’s just as rich as your favorite peanut butter pie. No one would know it’s better for you!

Serves: 10

Ingredients

Chocolate Base

• 1 cup Almond Flour
• 3 Tbsp Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 cup Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener – Lakanto
• 5 Tbsp Butter, Unsalted, Softened

Peanut butter filling

• 8 oz Cream Cheese, Full Fat, Soft
• 3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder, Or peanut butter flavor
• 1/2 cup Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener – Lakanto
• 1 cup Cottage Cheese, Low-Fat, Blended until smooth
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Process

1. Mix base ingredients together, then press down into sprayed 9″ pie pan
2. Bake at 350 for 10 min, then set aside to cool
3. Using a stand or hand electric mixer to whip softened cream cheese and peanut butter together
4. Add in remaining ingredients and whip until smooth
5. Spread across the base layer, and place in the fridge for 3 hours +
6. If placing toppings like melted dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, or crushed organic peanut butter cups, place them overtop and refrigerate or freeze an addition 30min
7. I like freezing for those last 20-30 minutes simply because it’s easy to slice when solid
8. Keep stored in the fridge
