Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

 When Studhubs and I first went plant-based there was one recipe that I KNEW I would need to work out, John's favorite Peanut Butter Pie.  It's an old recipe from Sandra Lee which I'll link right HERE and John absolutely adores it.  We literally have it for every holiday and special occasion.  So I knew it was imperative I figure this one out.  So after a lot of trial and error, many tears, and a melt down or two I have finally perfect my Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Pie Recipe.

This Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Pie Recipe has all of the same great flavors and texture of the classic version, but it is entirely plant-based.  I can't wait to share this one with you so...

Let's get Started!

For this Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Pie Recipe you will need a few simple ingredients:

• 2 Graham Cracker Crusts
• 1/2 c Plant Milk
• 1 c Allergen Free Chocolate Chips 
• 1 16 oz Package of Silken Tofu, drained
• 1 c Peanut Butter
• 1 c Powdered Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 14 oz can of Coconut Cream
• Chopped Peanuts, to top

To begin you are going to want to make your ganache.  This way it has time to cool before you pour it on top of your pie.  

Place the plant milk and chocolate chips into a sauce pan.  Turn the heat to low and gently melt the chocolate into he milk. 

Stir continuously until the ganache is thick and smooth.  Turn off the heat and let cool while you assemble the rest of the pie. 

Place the silken tofu into a large mixing bowl.

Go ahead and mix until smooth...ish.  

Now add the powdered sugar and peanut butter.  

Gently blend the powdered sugar into the tofu and peanut butter until smooth.  

Now pour in the coconut cream and vanilla extract.

Blend that until smooth and your vegan peanut butter pie filling is complete.  

Divide the pie filling in half and pour into the pie crusts.  Remember this recipe makes two pies.  I usually freeze one for later. 

Now gently pour the ganache over the pies and spread across the top with the back of a spoon.  

Top with the chopped peanuts and place in the freezer for 1 hour or overnight in the fridge.  

And there you have it a rich and silky peanut butter pie that is 100% plant based!  John throughly enjoyed this Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Recipe and I was so happy I could continue to make one of his all-time favorite desserts.  I know you are going to love it as well so get in the kitchen and give it a try tonight!

And as always...
