Is there a better combo than peanut butter and chocolate? I’m here with a new keto dessert recipe that you are bound to love if you enjoy this classic combination as much as I do. No Bake Peanut Butter Pie. It’s as delectable as it sounds. It has a few names: low carb peanut butter pie, keto peanut butter pie, sugar-free peanut butter pie, frozen peanut butter pie… but they all mean the same thing. TONS of decadent peanut butter flavor in a creamy, cold dessert that’s sure to impress.
It’s sugar-free and super low in carbs (just 7.1 grams net carbs per slice!), but truly a dessert that everyone (no matter if they are low carb or not) will love. Which means there isn’t a bad time to make it.
This keto peanut butter pie recipe was originally published on June 21, 2019, but the cookies used in the original post (for the pie crust) are no longer available. The post was republished in August 2020 to update the ingredients with ones currently available and to answer some additional recipe questions.
How To Make No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
This low carb peanut butter pie recipe has a few steps, but they all come together quickly and easily! The prep time takes about 15 minutes, with some chilling and freezing time in between.
- Make the frozen peanut butter pie crust. Process peanut butter and double chocolate cookies in a food processor, until crumbly. Then, add butter and powdered allulose and process again, until the mixture is crumbly and uniform.
TIP: Stick to powdered sweetener, not granulated. Since this is a no bake peanut butter crust, it might be a bit grainy if you use granulated.
- Chill the dough. Then press into pie pan and freeze crust for 20 minutes.
- Mix up the healthy peanut butter pie filling. Using a mixer, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered allulose. Beat in vanilla and heavy cream, until the filling reaches the consistency of frosting.
- Make whipped cream. Beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form…
…Then gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
- Fill the crust and freeze. Use a spatula to spread the filling over the pie crust, then freeze for at least an hour.
TIP: If you freeze it for too long and it gets rock hard, just let it sit on the counter until it’s soft enough to cut but still firm.
- Add toppings. These are optional, but make the pie look really pretty! I topped mine with more crumbled peanut butter and chocolate cookies to add a little crunch… so good! A drizzle of melted peanut butter or sugar-free chocolate would also be delicious.
Low Carb Peanut Butter Pie FAQs
Is peanut butter pie healthy?
This gluten free chocolate peanut butter pie is decadent and rich, but has great nutrition stats. Each slice has 349 calories and just 7.1 grams net carbs.
Can I use a different sweetener?
I highly recommend Besti Powdered Allulose for the best low carb peanut butter pie. If you don’t have it, my keto sweeteners guide has other options you can compare – and use the sweetener conversion chart to find out how much to use of whatever sweetener you have. Just make sure it’s powdered.
What kind of cookies can I use for the crust?
The cookies I used for this pie when I first made it in 2019 are no longer available. I now recommend my homemade keto peanut butter cookie recipe and these keto chocolate cookies, but if you have a store-bought keto cookie you like, those are fine to use.
Is there another crust option without using cookies?
Sure! You can make almond flour pie crust instead, with the same filling. To make it a no-bake crust, replace the egg with an additional 2 tablespoons ghee or butter.
Keto Peanut Butter Pie Storage Instructions
Can you make frozen peanut butter pie ahead?
Yes, you need to make this keto peanut butter pie ahead so that it has time to properly chill.
How to store low carb peanut butter pie
This low carb peanut butter pie is best stored in the freezer. You want the filling to stay firm, and the freezer is the best for that.
When you’re ready to serve, pull it out and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before slicing into it.
Can you freeze peanut butter pie?
Yes, this no bake peanut butter pie recipe can be frozen, in fact, it’s meant to be frozen! Because we aren’t baking anything in this pie, we freeze the crust before adding the filling and then we freeze the whole pie until its firm.

Instructions
Tap on the times in the instructions below to start a kitchen timer while you cook.
-
Place the cookies into a food processor. Pulse until they are the consistency of crumbs.
-
Add the butter and powdered sweetener and pulse again, just until uniform and crumbly.
-
Chill the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes, until it's less sticky and easy enough to work with.
-
Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan, to form the crust.
-
Freeze the crust for 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a large, deep bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sweetener for about 2 minutes, until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in approximately 6 tablespoons (88 mL) heavy cream, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) at a time, until it reaches the consistency of thick frosting. The amount of cream you need will vary depending on how thick your peanut butter was, so just keep adding 1 tablespoon (15 mL) at a time until it's like a thick frosting.
-
In a second bowl, beat 3/4 cup (177 mL) heavy cream, until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
-
Transfer the filling into the pie pan over the crust.
-
Freeze for at least 1 hour, until firm. Keep frozen, but let it sit on the counter to soften slightly if it's too hard right out of the freezer (similar to an ice cream cake). If you like toppings, you can add melted peanut butter drizzle, melted chocolate drizzle, and/or more cookies crumbled on top (all of these are optional).

Debbie
0We loved it!! So easy to make. My son asks me to make it for him again & again.
Lynda Pedersen
0This is soooooo good!! I have made it twice and since I am the only one eating it I wanted to make it into individual portions. First time I made into mini cupcakes without the crust. This time I again made without the crust but made in a squares pan and drizzled with chocolate and cut into individual squares. So easy to just grab one from the freezer when I am craving a treat.
Sandy
0So yummy & EASY to make. I froze it 2-3 hrs, then had it in the fridge while we went out for dinner. Consistency was perfect when we got back & ate it.
wilhelmina
0This pie is creamy, dreamy and full of rich PB goodness! This is one of our favorite keto recipes!
Sydnie
0What a great recipe! Can’t wait to try it!
Beth
0This is my favorite main dish ever! That’s right, I know this is a dessert but I could eat this as a main dish – don’t judge me this is fabulous!
Britni
0I love peanut butter pie and this keto version was amazing!
Lianne
0Sorry I can’t/won’t spend $40.00 on perfect keto cookies to make this. That being said If you ever come up with a version of this pie that does not require crazy expensive ordering to make, I am very interested.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lianne, I actually cover this in the post above and you can still make this. Please read the FAQs in the post above to see alternatives if you don’t want to get these cookies.
Lanakila
0This came out delicious for my husband’s first keto birthday! I used Schoolyard Snacks cocoa keto cereal for the crust and thus left off the sweetener. I melted ChocZero dark chocolate chips and mixed with heavy cream to make a drizzle over chopped salted peanuts. Then I piped keto whipped cream on top. I wish I could show you a pic! It’s beautiful. Great recipe. Thank you!
Nicole Meyers
0Nui no longer has the chocolate or peanut butter cookies available. You may need to rehash this recipe using something other than them for the crust and toppings.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0You are right, Nicole! The post has been updated with a different brand that is available.
Anna
0Lovely looking pie hope to try it soon
Brenda
0Nui no longer has the chocolate or peanut butter cookies available. You may need to rehash this recipe using something other than them for the crust and toppings.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Brenda, I’ve updated the recipe to use a different brand that is available.
R. Larson
0I’ve found HighKey cookies work very well for the same purpose. I’m not able to say if they are comparable to the Nui cookies having never tried them. But if you still wish to make this, you can definitely try those. Also, added bonus- their snickerdoodle flavor makes a great graham cracker crust replacement.
City
0My go-to dessert was a very similar peanut butter pie that all the kids in the family just loved. Really pleased to have a version that fits in with my new life style and tastes delicious. 🙂
Kat
0Looks great and I’m sure it tastes just as great but the price of the cookies are crazy. There has to be away of making the crust without costing so much.
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Kat, try substituting the crust from my no bake chocolate cheesecake instead.
Karen
0As we cannot get the Nui cookies in Canada can you suggest a replacement? How about Quest cookies or maybe a crumble from scratch. If you want people to use your recipes then you need to use ingredients that are accessible to everyone, or at least have alternatives. I love your recipes but it gets frustrating when I cannot get an ingredient here and this happens a lot in the keto world as there are so many new companies which is wonderful but very very few of them ship anywhere but in the US.
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Karen, you can try the crust from my no bake chocolate cheesecake as an alternative.
Dee
0What can you use in place of the nui cookies for the crust?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Dee, I don’t have a replacement for those in this recipe since they are the main ingredient in the crust. Sorry!
Betsy
0This looks so fantastic and I’m sure it’s delicious. Any way to determi.,e how many WWfreestyle points this might be? Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Betsy! Sorry, I’m not sure what the WW Freestyle points would be. You’d probably have to enter the ingredients into an online calculator.
Vicki L Blackmon
0Is there anything I substitute for the cookies? I could not justify spending that much on cookies.
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Vicki, the crust from my no bake chocolate cheesecake might work.
Kristina
0Chocolate and peanut butter is a match made in heaven! This was gone in no time in my house!
Tara
0Love the fluffy pb filling — yum!
Wendy
0What can be used in place of the Nui cookies?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Wendy, Sorry, I don’t have a replacement for them as they are the main component in the crust. The link to buy them is in the post above.
Dannii
0You had me at peanut butter. This was such a delicious pie.
Tynia
0This is so good! I love that it’s low carb. Peanut butter is my favorite.
Michelle Miller
0This is the best No Bake PB pie ever! Loved the no bake concept.
Ashley
0My entire family loves this! It’s so good and easy too.
Peg
0I have celiac. I can not have flour…The cookies you mention have flour I am guessing. Any ideas for making the crust with a substitute?…I don’t care if I have to bake…
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Peg, The cookies have no wheat flour and are gluten-free, so you can use them. 🙂
Sandi
0Oh my gosh, you had me at peanut butter!!!!
Eden
0Perfect summer pie! The kids go crazy over it!
Alina
0Healthy desserts are the best for summer! I love how creamy is the filling and I’m craving a slice!
