· For a VANILLA crust: ¾ C Almond Flour; ½ C UPP vanilla

· ¼ C Powdered Swerve

· ¼ C melted butter flavored Nutivia coconut oil

· 1-2 T water, if needed

· Peanut Butter Filling:

· 1 8-ounce pkg Kite Hill cream cheese, softened

· 1 C coconut cream, room temperature

· ¾ C creamy peanut butter

· ½ C powdered swerve

· ½ C UPP vanilla

· 1 tsp vanilla extract

· 2-3 T coconut milk, as needed

· Topping:

· 3 T Coconut Cream

· ½ ounce unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped

· 1½ T powdered Swerve

· 3 Keto peanut butter cups, chopped (OR Justin's white chocolate PB cups;)

Directions:

Crust:
1. Lightly grease a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, UPP (chocolate or vanilla), cocoa powder (if making a chocolate crust) and powdered sweetener. Stir in the melted coconut oil until the dough clumps together. If it won't hold together when you squeeze it in you hand, add a little water and mix well.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking pan, as evenly as possible. Freeze while preparing the filling.

Peanut Butter Filling:
1. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, coconut cream, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the sweetener and vanilla extract.
2. Add the thinner coconut milk, 1 T at a time, until the mixture is light and fluffy, like mousse. Spread the mixture in the crust.
3. Chill until firm, preferably overnight.

Topping:
1. Place the chopped chocolate (or white chocolate) in a small bowl. Heat the coconut cream in a saucepan until bubbling. Pour over the chocolate.
2. Let it sit a few minutes to melt, then add the sweetener and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled pie.
3. Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups, if desired.
