Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Pie

Sometimes, at the end of a long day, I need something rich and decadent. I also usually want chocolate- nothing cheers me up quite like chocolate! Lately, this keto peanut butter pie has become my go to comfort dessert as it is incredibly rich, super chocolatey yet keto friendly- it checks all my boxes! The best part is that it is super easy to make. I have been making a pie almost every weekend and then enjoying it all week long- my nighttime, guilty pleasure! Maybe you’re interested in starting the same nightly routine? Let me tell you a little more about this pie…

The chocolate crust for this pie is reminiscent of a graham cracker crust (but of course without all the carbs!). Making it is as simple as mixing everything together in one big bowl. To make sure that the mix is evenly blended, I usually combine the almond flour, cocoa powder and erythritol first, mixing the dry ingredients well. Then I stream in the melted butter and quickly blend everything with my hands. Once my hands are already covered in chocolate goodness, I pour the mix into the pie crust and pat it by hand into the pan. By using your hands, you can really feel the thickness of the crust and make sure it is evenly spread across the bottom and up the sides of the crust.

The crust is then baked for a few minutes too help it set up nicely. However, you can easily skip the oven and place the crust in the freezer to set. This will make for a more crumbly crust but it also makes this recipe a no-bake peanut butter pie which is definitely something many people love. So skip the oven (especially is you are baking on a hot summer day!) and place the crust in the freezer while you make the pie filling!

To make the rich, incredibly flavorful pie filling, you essentially need to follow two steps. First, cream the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla and salt together until they are fluffy. Then, in a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff and fold it gently into the peanut butter mix. Filling done! Scoop the peanut buttery goodness into the pre-made crust, freeze the pie and then slice and eat. Pretty simple, right?

Low Carb Peanut Butter Pie

When I am planning to enjoy the peanut butter pie as my personal nightly dessert, I keep it simple and skip the fancy garnishes. However, when I make this pie to bring to a summer BBQ, I make it look amazing by melting some Lily’s dark chocolate chips and drizzling the melted chocolate over the top of the pie. Then I sprinkle the top of the pie with some toasted peanuts and it is ready to go! Those two easy garnishes make the pie look like it came straight from a bakery- no one will know that it only took a few minutes to put together.

Whether you plan to make this pie for yourself or to share with a group, it is sure to be a winner. Rich and creamy, sweet and chocolate laden, it is one of the best keto desserts I have ever tried! We hope you enjoy it (post some pictures of your pies in the comments below!).

  2. Bake the crust in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and powdered erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and salt and mix.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the heavy cream mixture into the peanut butter mix.
  5. Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled pie crust and then place in the freezer to set. Freeze for at least an hour then drizzle with some extra dark chocolate, sprinkle with some peanuts and slice and serve!
