Peanut Butter Pie
I made the most delicious Keto Peanut Butter Pie the other day! My little boy loves peanut butter balls and he made a YouTube video of making them (click HERE to watch my Keto Kid). I decided to make his favorite keto treat into a lovely keto pie! I used my keto pie crust recipe, Micah’s peanut butter ball recipe for a filling and top it with a chocolate coating.
In this keto peanut butter pie, I used mascarpone cheese in the filling because it is less tangy, but if all you have is cream cheese, that will work. I also garnished it with beautiful puffs of cream from my whipped cream canister which is one of my favorite keto gadgets. I am a minimalist and do not like a lot of gadgets; however, THIS whipped cream dispenser is always in my fridge for an easy garnish to fancy up any keto dessert. I just put heavy cream into THIS canister, (I have a professional dispenser because I use it so much, but THIS dispenser is a good one too and much cheaper) add a few tablespoons of Swerve confectioners (or stevia glycerite: non-bitter form of stevia), seal it and shake it up. Tada! Even though I am not an artist, this pie looks lovely!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
Hi Maria! I am so darn happy and feel a heck of a lot better!
I started at 240 pounds on my 5’7″ frame 5 months ago this coming Tuesday when I stumbled across your book The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse in a Sprouts store. I was wearing size 18/20 pants and 20/22 tops and feeling miserable.
Yesterday I wore a pair of size 8 jean capris to my youngest’s h.s. graduation party and today when I went shopping with my daughter… I averaged size 10 pants. I have been a size 12 and much higher since junior high!!! My daughter (such a good sport) wore the same exact clothes I did…I can wear my 23 year olds clothes! What????!!!! Today I am down 45.4 pounds with less than 30 lbs. to my original goal! Keep up your Keto ways!! ” – Melanie

OMG….this makes me so happy!!! I cannot wait to try it. I love anything peanut butter and chocolate. Oh can you add the nutritional facts on this? Thanks!
Thanks! I added it above. 🙂
Any way to make this dairy free?
I was wondering if you can make this dairy free also!?
You could sub butter flavored coconut oil for butter, coconut cream for cream and kite hill cream cheese for mascarpone. 🙂

My favorite pie prior to keto was peanut butter pie, for years. You rarely saw one and I made my own recipe for reg peanut butter pie. I pretty much gave up any type dessert when I began to live keto style. I am delighted to see this pie and will now make my favorite dessert ~ thank you Maria! I also throughly enjoyed the video of your delightful son make his peanut butter balls.
Thanks!
Do you have the conversion for replacing the Swerve confectioners with either Monk Fruit Sweetener or liquid stevia. (or a combination of both) Thank you again of time. I also do not like using Xylitol. I love liquid stevia the kind I get doesn’t have an aftertaste. Thanks again!
Swerve is 1-1 with sugar. So just go by whatever they say on the bag. 🙂
My husband was just asking for a peanut butter pie the other day. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks!
What is the serving size? Pie cut into how many slices?
Says at the top of the recipe, 12 servings. 🙂
Whatb is Stevia glycerite?
This: https://amzn.to/2nJf9YR
What can I replace the stevia glycerite with
Just a bit more swerve or other sweetener.
Why is my crust so buttery, like when I press down in it my fingers are greasy. I put 1/2 cup butter, which is 8tblps. Right?
Correct. It will be great once cooked. 🙂
This is SO delicious! I made this pretty much exactly as written, but used powdered erythritol instead of Swerve, which I don’t have. I also skipped the Stevia in the crust but added about 20 drops to the filling, as I like a less sweet crust to offset the filling. I only have an 8 inch pan but no matter, I made an additional tiny portion in a mini tart pan and still had enough filling for two small ramekins, all good! We’ve got enough dessert for a week now 😊 Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe, this is the first peanut one I’ve made in ages, and I love it… It almost tastes like a Snickers bar!
Thank you!
This looks amazing! How far in advance can I make this? I feel like I need to bring this to an event I have coming up!
Thanks!
