Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup Creamy natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (70% or higher, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture has the texture of wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the base of a flat glass or measuring cup to firmly press it down. Refrigerate the crust for at least 10 minutes to set.
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Shave or finely chop the dark chocolate and sprinkle it over the top of the pie. For added crunch, sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, let it chill overnight.
When ready to serve, slice the pie into 8 even pieces and enjoy a healthier take on a classic dessert!
