Ingredients

For the Chocolate Almond Flour Crust

• 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour
• 1/4 cup NuNaturals Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Date Lady Date Sugar

For the Peanut Butter Filling

• 1 batch Peanut Butter Pie Dip

Optional Toppings

• Chocolate sauce
• Vegan chocolate chips
• Chopped peanuts
• Flaky sea salt

How to Make Grain-Free Vegan Mini Peanut Butter Pies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, date sugar, and melted vegan butter. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Divide the mixture into three equal portions and shape each into a small circle on the baking sheet. Use your fingers to create slightly raised edges so they resemble mini pie crusts.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow the crusts to cool completely.
5. Prepare one batch of Peanut Butter Pie Dip according to the recipe instructions.
6. Blend until silky smooth and creamy. The filling should be rich, fluffy, and impossible not to taste-test right out of the food processor.
7. Once the crusts have cooled completely, spoon the peanut butter filling into each pie shell.
8. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula and transfer the pies to the refrigerator.
9. Chill for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
10. Before serving, drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped peanuts for the ultimate peanut butter cup-inspired finish. A pinch of flaky sea salt takes them to the next level.

Tips for the Best Vegan Peanut Butter Pies

• Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling.
• Let the crust cool completely before filling.
• Chill overnight for an even firmer texture.
• Add flaky sea salt to enhance the chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
• Freeze for 20 minutes before serving if you prefer a firmer texture.

Creative Ways to Use Extra Peanut Butter Filling

You will probably have leftover filling, and honestly, that’s one of the best parts of this recipe.

Try using it as:

• A dip for apple slices
• A spread on toast
• A topping for oatmeal
• A dip for pretzels
• A filling for dates
• A healthier frosting alternative
• A dip for graham crackers

Think of it as peanut butter cheesecake dip with endless possibilities.
