Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup chopped peanuts (not finely ground- you want the peanut pieces in the crust for effect and flavor)
- 1/3 cup Swerve, Confectioners
- 6 TBS butter, melted
Peanut Butter Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 ¼ cup Swerve, Confectioners
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 TBS vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
Strawberry Sauce
- 16 oz strawberries (stems off and halved)
- 3/4 cup Swerve, Confectioners
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Chop/pulse peanuts in a food processor for a few seconds to create peanut chunks and place in large mixing bowl.
- Add almond flour, Swerve, Confectioners, and melted butter. With a fork, mix crust ingredients together until moist.
- Press flat into 9 inch spring form pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
Peanut Butter Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and Swerve together until well combined. Beat in the whipping cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Place filling in warmed peanut and almond flour crust. Smooth top of pie with spatula.
- Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until very firm, and spring form pan can pop off easily.
Strawberry Sauce
- Puree strawberries in a food processor.
- Combine strawberries, Swerve, lemon juice, salt, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until strawberries reduce a bit, Swerve dissolves, and sauce is heated through, 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to remove seeds.
- Place back on stove top at medium heat and add xanthan gum, whisking quickly to thicken (1-2 minutes)
- Remove from stove top and set aside to let continue to thicken and come to room temperature.
- Serve instantly, or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and serve over a slice of peanut butter pie!
