Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham crackers (crushed into crumbs)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.75 cups Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Milk (low-fat or almond milk)
Instructions
Start by preparing the crust. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted coconut oil. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat measuring cup to compact the crust tightly.
Place the crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the crust using a spatula.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and milk. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling. You can use a spoon to create swirls or zigzag patterns for a decorative touch if desired.
Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Slice and serve chilled for a perfectly creamy, lighter chocolate peanut butter pie.
