For the Filling:
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (your choice of brand or natural)
- 1/2 cup powdered Swerve
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 8 ounce container sugar free Cool-Whip
For the Whipped Cream (if making it from scratch):

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Chocolate Crust
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered Swerve, and butter (or coconut oil) until the mixture clumps together. Add water if needed.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate and press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom.
- Place the crust in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling
- Beat softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered Swerve in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla extract.
3. Whip the Cream
- If making homemade whipped cream, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Alternatively, use the 8 ounce container of store-bought sugar-free whipped cream.
4. Assemble the Pie
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.
- Spread the filling over the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Freeze the pie for at least 2–3 hours or until fully set.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
- Slice the pie and serve straight from the freezer for a firm texture, or let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature for a softer consistency.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Peanut Butter: For the best results, use a creamy, unsweetened peanut butter.
- Sweetener Swaps: Powdered Swerve works perfectly for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other keto-friendly sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered tightly, for up to a week.
