Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°Fahrenheit (175°Celsius). Mix almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and melted butter, press into a 6-inch pie pan, and bake 8–9 minutes. Cool completely.
Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla until creamy.
Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into the peanut butter mixture until combined.
Spread the filling into the cooled crust, refrigerate at least 2 hours, then slice and serve cold.

Notes

Use powdered sweetener in the filling rather than granulated. Granulated sweetener does not dissolve fully into the cream cheese at this small quantity and leaves a gritty texture in every bite.
Make sure the crust is completely cold before spooning in the filling. A warm crust softens the bottom layer and affects the final set texture at any batch size.
Run a sharp knife under warm water before each slice for the cleanest cuts through the filling without dragging or tearing.
This pie makes ahead beautifully. Make it the evening before and pull it straight from the fridge when needed for the firmest, cleanest slice.
