No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pie (Cane Sugar FREE!)


Cane sugar free! The coconut sugar in the crust gives it a light graham cracker flavor. The filling is very rich and creamy. No baking required! Takes about 10 minutes to make! 

Crust:
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup flax meal
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup coconut sugar
Generous 1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup coconut oil

Pie:
1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1 cup date purée
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp vanilla extract

For crust-
Combine dry ingredients with whisk. Stir in melted butter and oil. Press into deep dish 9 inch pie pan. Freeze.

For filling-
Combine all the ingredients in stand mixer with whisk attachment. Whisk on high for 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides twice. 
Remove pan from freezer and spread filling inside. Top with salted peanuts and mini chocolate chips. I used Enjoy Life brand. Use another brand if you want to completely avoid cane sugar. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled with whipped cream.

Substitutions-
I believe another nut butter would work well too. Sun butter gives a pretty good "peanut butter" flavor as well. You could use all coconut oil. Also, you could use agave in place of honey.
