A low carb peanut butter pie made with a crust of almond flour that is very rich and delicious.
I was in my local health food store and came across a couple of jars of natural, no sugar, no horrid oils added peanut butter on sale. So I gave a jar a good home and made this peanut butter pie. I used ground almonds for the crust which went surprisingly well with the peanut taste. The pie is kept in the freezer and although you are meant to defrost it for 15 minutes before eating, myself and the Chief Taster happily munched many frozen pieces! This is on my list of recipes to repeat. It would be good to serve at the next bbq too! Oooh, perhaps smothered with some extra cream….
MY LATEST VIDEOSIt is very rich so you may only want a small slice…well to begin with..!

February 9, 2018 at 5:18 pmAre the servings for the pie really 4? Trying to figure out how it is only 7 carbs per serving. Peanut butter alone should take you over that.

December 7, 2017 at 7:38 pmMy family has a peanut butter pie recipe that has come down through the generations. Because I went low carb and gluten free I have not been able to partake these holidays. I can’t wait to try this recipe out. Thanks for sharing!
