I rarely make desserts, but today I made a Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Made with a chocolate crust, peanut butter filling, topped with milk and white chocolate chips and a chocolate peanut butter drizzle. My little one is really looking forward to digging in. Without trying it he has already declared it’s the best pie ever.
Ingredients
For the chocolate crust:
7 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups superfine, blanched almond flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/3 cup granulated erythritol sweetener

Carefully fold the peanut butter mixture into the whipped cream.
Transfer the filling to the cooled crust and smooth with a spatula.
