Gluten Free Peanut Butter Pie
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 3 hours 35 minutes
- Category: Dessert
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
Units
For the crust:
- 8 ounces chocolate cookies (I used my gluten free chocolate butter cookie recipe)
- 2 ounces butter, melted
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped, divided
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup maple sugar, ground fine in a coffee or spice grinder
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons homemade sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and adjust rack to middle position. Place the cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add butter and pulse until crumbs are moist. Press crumbs into a 9-inch springform pan (you can also use a 9-inch pie plate). Bake for 10 minutes. As soon as you remove the crust from the oven sprinkle 4 ounces of chopped chocolate over crust. Let the chocolate sit for 3 minutes and then spread now melted chocolate over crust. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
- Pour heavy cream into a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a medium bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Place the cream cheese and peanut butter into the now empty bowl. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Slowly beat in the maple sugar and arrowroot. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and lemon juice. Increase speed to medium and beat until all the ingredients are combined and filling smooth.
- Remove whipped cream from the refrigerator. Stir in 1/3 of the shipped cream into the filling mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream. Pour the filling into the prepared springform pan. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight before serving. Before serving, melt remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and drizzle over pie.

Hugs and kisses to you and your family. I’m glad we all have been given another chance to see just how important all the little moments are. We really are just like the grass. We never know when our season will be complete. Love you and yours.
beautiful, Carrie. I too, made a peanut butter pie and as I was making it I thought of you and how your ingredients would differ. Levi and I spent the day together today, and it was a love fest. Glad you got those additional hugs and kisses in today, with your two very, very special little girls!
Lovely post Carrie. It has been beautiful to see what people are writing today. As I wait for my hubs to come home, I remember how grateful I am to have him in my life. XOXO

My wife is a huge fan of anything peanut butter. Looks like I have found her a new recipe. 🙂 Thank you so much for the terrific blog!
I was in the air all day Friday, and out of touch with the Internet. It was such a beautiful thing to log on and catch up that night, and see so many heartfelt posts and stunning peanut butter pies for Mikey. Yours is beautiful, and I love that you’ve made a gluten free adaptation. Thanks for sharing, Carrie.
Chocolate and peanut butter go together so well. This looks so good!
