If you're looking for an indulgent, yet gluten-free dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth, this gluten free peanut butter pie is just what you need. With a smooth, creamy peanut butter filling and a rich, chocolate almond flour pie crust, this pie strikes the perfect balance between sweet and salty. Best of all, it’s made with simple ingredients, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and require no baking at all.
Put a large mixing bowl and the beaters from your electric hand mixer in the freezer.
Grease a 9-inch pie plate, tart pan, or springform pan and set aside.
Prepare The Crust
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir in melted coconut oil and room temperature maple syrup, mixing until fully combined.
2 cups fine blanched almond flour, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅓ cup coconut oil, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Press the mixture into prepared pie plate and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Make The Filling
Remove your large mixing bowl and beaters from the freezer and scoop out the solid portion of the chilled coconut milk into the bowl. Whip with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. About 3-5 minutes.
1 can (14 ounce) full-fat coconut milk
In another bowl, add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, then blend until smooth. You can use the same beaters from the whipped coconut cream.
1 cup natural peanut butter, ⅓ cup pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Fold whipped coconut into peanut butter mixture until combined. Try not to over mix.
Assemble The Pie
Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the pie is fully set.
Add The Drizzles
For the peanut butter drizzle, melt the peanut butter in a small bowl, and with a small spoon drizzle over the pie.
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
For the chocolate drizzle, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and cocoa powder, then drizzle over the pie.
1½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Top the pie with chopped raw peanuts for added texture.
2 tablespoons chopped raw peanuts
Keep the pie refrigerated or frozen.

Notes
Chill Your Coconut Milk: Make sure to refrigerate your coconut milk overnight. This ensures the cream separates from the liquid, giving you a thicker, creamier filling. Chilling a large mixing bowl and the beaters from the hand mixer will also when whipping the coconut milk.
Press the Crust Firmly: When pressing the chocolate crust into the greased pie dish, make sure to press it firmly to prevent crumbling when sliced.
Store the pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze, well covered, for up to 2 months.
