Keto Peanut Butter Silk Pie
Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST:
- 1 1/4 cups (190 g) shelled raw hazelnuts
- 4 tablespoons (56 g) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (65 g) vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER:
- 4 sugar-free dark chocolate bars(about 1.5 ounces (42 g) each)
- 5 tablespoons (75 ml) heavy cream
- 1 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER SILK LAYER:
- 1 package (8 ounces, or 225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (25 g) Splenda
- 1 cup (260 g) creamy natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C, or gas mark 3)
- To make the crust: Use the S-blade in a food processor to grind the hazelnuts to a meal
- Add the butter and protein powder and pulse until well combined
- Spray a large pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and press the hazelnut mixture firmly into the bottom of the pie plate (it wont build up the side very far)
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned
- Remove from the oven to cool
- To make the chocolate layer: Melt the chocolate over the lowest possible heat since chocolate burns very easily
- If you have a double boiler or a heat diffuser, this would be a good time to use it! Whisk in the cream and coffee crystals, and continue stirring until the crystals disappear
- Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the hazelnut crust
- To make the peanut butter silk layer: Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, Splenda, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla together until creamy
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff
- Turn the mixer to the lowest setting and beat the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture one-third at a time
- Spread the peanut butter filling gently over the chocolate layer and chill
- This is best made a day in advance to allow plenty of time for chilling
