Peanut Butter Pie with PB2




No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie w/ PB2

This was a super popular dish that a lot of you requested! It's also one of my FAVORITES!

Super easy, simple, healthy, and SATISFYING. Perfect for filling that sweet tooth, without all of the guilt.

The pie is completely sugar-free EXCEPT for the pie crust (6g sugar)
I used store-bought, but feel free to try your own twist for a different crust!

YOU WILL NEED:

For the pie
1 piecrust (I used store-bought: Keebler’s Chocolate Crust)
1.5 oz package Sugar-free and fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix (or chocolate!)
1 packet of UNFLAVORED gelatin
½ cup of granulated Splenda (1/4 cup will taste just as fine, if you wish to decrease)
1 cup PB2 (I buy mine at certain Publix and/or Smoothie King locations. They also have a store locator.
2 cups Almond Milk
1 cup Fat-free Cool Whip


(Optional) For the topping:
2 sugar-free peanut butter cups (I used the one’s by Russell Stover)
Sugar-free chocolate syrup

Tip:
Use 2 bowls for this recipe - One for the dry mix and one for the milk.

DIRECTIONS:

In a microwaveable bowl, pour ONE cup of Almond Milk.
Sprinkle the gelatin packet on top and let sit for about 2 minutes and then stir.
Microwave for about 30-45 seconds, just long enough for the mixture to become hot.
Stir for 1 minute or until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
Set aside to cool then add the other cup of milk.

In a separate bowl, combine the PB2, instant pudding mix, and Splenda.
Slowly pour in the milk and mix well using a fork or whisk.
The batter may be the the slightest bit lumpy, but try to get it as well mixed as you can.
Mix in the Cool Whip little by little, stirring well as you add it in.

Pour the mixture into your piecrust and spread evenly.
Freeze for 1 1/2 hour. After that, the pie can be kept in the fridge!

For the topping:

Remove the peanut butter cups from their packaging and place in a Ziploc bag.
Place in the freezer for about 45 minutes-1 hour

Remove from the freezer. Crush into little pieces and arrange them on the pie.
Drizzle some chocolate syrup and voila!

In joy, enjoy!
