Instructions

1. Make crust:
In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and salt until crumbly.
Press firmly into 9″ pie plate (bottom and up sides).
→ Chill 15 minutes to set (no-bake) OR bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes; cool completely.
2. Make peanut butter filling:
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy (~2 minutes).
Add powdered sweetener and vanilla; mix until combined.
In separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Gently fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture until light and airy.
3. Assemble pie:
Spread filling evenly into chilled crust; smooth top.
Freeze 15–20 minutes to set slightly before adding ganache.
4. Make chocolate ganache:
Heat heavy cream in small saucepan until just simmering (don’t boil).
Pour over sugar-free chocolate chips + coconut oil in heatproof bowl.
Let sit 2 minutes; whisk until smooth and glossy.
Optional: Stir in pinch of flaky sea salt.
5. Top & chill:
Pour warm ganache over chilled filling; gently spread to edges.
Optional: Drizzle with melted peanut butter or swirl with toothpick for marbled effect.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
6. Serve:
Run warm knife around edge to release. Slice with warm knife for clean cuts.
