This No-Bake Keto Fluffy Peanut Butter Pie is such an easy keto dessert recipe! A crunchy chocolate no-bake keto crust filled with fluffy sweet whipped peanut butter and topped with chopped peanut butter cups and peanut butter drizzle...This delicious sweet and salty dessert will have everyone asking for the recipe!
My sister is coming to town! And with that being said, I wanted to recreate a recipe that she first introduced me to about 15 years ago...no-bake peanut butter pie!
She found this recipe in "The Joy of Cooking " cookbook. Quick and simple, the Peanut butter Pie recipe was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
So, taking my No-Bake Keto Pie Crust and combining it with some of my ideas from my Easy Keto Chocolate Almond Flour Pie Crust, I knew making the same cookie crust would be easy.
Then, using the same concept for my 4-Ingredient Keto Chocolate Truffle Pie, a perfectly delicious no-bake keto fluffy peanut butter pie was created!
Fluffier than the original but just as easy, you have to try this no-bake keto pie. But just be warned...this no-bake peanut butter pie is HIGHLY addicting!
Things to know about this no-bake peanut butter pie
- Sugar-free, Gluten-Free, Low carb - Most of the ingredients in the original peanut butter pie recipe could be easily modified to fit into a sugar-free, gluten-free and keto diet. Using allulose allowed for this pie to be refrigerated without crystalizing like other keto sugar substitutes.
- Easy - Although there are 3 different steps, making a crust, filling and topping, each step takes under 5 minutes and only requires a hand
- Limited Keto Ingredients - This recipe only contains a handful of ingredients which you most likely already have on hand so you probably can make this no-bake keto fluffy peanut butter pie right now!
- Texture - This no-bake keto pie is the perfect combination of creamy whipped peanut butter with a crunchy chocolate crust - a match made in heaven!
Ingredients
As I stated earlier, this recipe has 3 basic layers that require a few simple ingredients - a keto pie crust, fluffy peanut butter pie filling, and a layer of delicious whipped cream!
- Almond flour - Almond flour is used to make the no-bake keto pie crust. For this recipe, you can actually use super-fine almond flour or almond meal.
- Coconut - Unsweetened coconut is added to the crust for some added texture
- Flaxseed meal - Ground flaxseeds act as a binder for this no-bake keto pie crust
- Butter - Melted butter is used for all three different parts of this peanut butter pie recipe: in the crust, added to the peanut butter filling as well as for making the chocolate ganache.
- Chocolate - You can use either sugar-free chocolate chips or sugar-free melting wafers. Semi-sweet, dark or milk chocolate will all work.
- Heavy Cream - Make sure that the heavy cream you use is at least 36% fat or else it will not whip as well. Also, freeze your mixing bowl and beaters as the colder the bowl, the faster the cream can be whipped.
- Powdered sweetener - It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use a powdered sweetener that will NOT crystalize when cold. This no-bake peanut butter pie must be stored in the fridge so if you use an erythritol-based sweetener, there is a strong chance that your fluffy peanut butter pie filling will become gritty. I used allulose for this recipe and it worked wonderfully.
- Cream cheese - Cream cheese is used in this recipe to add stability to the peanut butter filling while still maintaining its fluffiness.
- Peanut butter - I used Member's Mark peanut butter but any peanut butter should work. I do not suggest using natural peanut butter (the type where the oil separates) as I do not believe it will work as well.
- Vanilla - The most common ingredient is all keto dessert recipes!
- Optional Toppings - Chop some sugar-free Peanut butter cups and drizzle with melted peanut butter
*See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Making this no-bake keto pie could not be any easier!
Melt the butter with the chocolate chips in the microwave. Stir in all remaining crust ingredients and press the mixture into a greased pie pan. Place the pie pan in the freezer to harden.
Whip the heavy whipping cream, ½ cup of the powdered allulose, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set the bowl to the aside.
Beat the remaining ½ cup powdered allulose, cream cheese, peanut butter and butter until fluffy.
Fold ½ the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until completely combined.
Spread the fluffy peanut butter filling into the pie crust. Spread remaining whipped cream over the peanut butter filling and sprinkle with chopped sugar-free peanut butter cups. Drizzle with melted peanut butter, if desired.
Hint: Feel free to omit the sugar-free peanut butter cups and simply top with chopped salted peanuts instead.
Substitutions
This easy keto peanut butter pie has only a few ingredients and therefore not very many substitutions!
- Peanut Butter - You can try using almond butter instead but you may need to add additional sweetener. Also, make sure that your stir your almond butter really well before using.
- Butter - You can use coconut oil in the crust and use melted organic palm shortening in the peanut butter pie filling and the ganache.
- Heavy Cream - You can use coconut cream (simply place 1 can of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge overnight to separate the thick cream from the added water - you ONLY want to use the cream part) to keep this recipe dairy-free

Variations
This recipe can be adapted to suit your tastes with the following options:
- Sweetness - I found this pie to be perfectly sweet but Mr. Grumbles said he would have perferred it a little less sweet. Reduce the sweetener by 2-4 tablespoons for a less sweet no-bake peanut butter pie.
- Deluxe - Make some sugar-free chocolate ganache and swirl it throughout the peanut butter layer.
- Peanut Free - Use almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter instead.

Top tip
Be careful no to overwhip the heavy cream. Overwhipped heavy cream can separate and turn into butter.
What is a traditional peanut butter pie made with?
Old fashioned peanut butter pie is made from scratch using creamy peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and heavy cream. By replacing the sugar with sweetener, this traditional pie takes on a keto and sugar-free twist!
