Ingredients

Chocolate Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons organic cacao powder cocoa powder will work too
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup refined coconut oil melted
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup I prefer grade B
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup natural creamy salted peanut butter
  • 1 can organic coconut milk full fat, refrigerated overnight
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • teaspoon salt
  • Organic cacao nibs or chopped dark chocolate optional

Instructions

  • Start by making the chocolate crust. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, add almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk until blended. Stir in coconut oil (make sure it is no longer hot), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until dry ingredients are moistened. Complete blending mixture by using your hands, making sure coconut oil is evenly distributed.
  • Press crust mixture into a 14 x 4.5 x 1 tart pan or 9-inch round pan, making sure to press dough halfway up sides of pan. Bake for 15 minutes. When done, cool in pan on wire rack.
  • To make the filling, scoop the waxy solid from out of the coconut milk can into a small bowl, stopping when you hit liquid below. Using an electric mixer, beat coconut milk until it starts to thicken and soft peaks appear. In a medium bowl, beat together peanut butter, ½ cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Fold in half of coconut whipped cream into peanut butter mixture and mix until blended. Add the rest of the coconut whipped cream and mix until thoroughly blended.
  • When crust is cool, transfer filling into crust and smooth top with a spatula. Sprinkle cacao nibs or chopped dark chocolate over top. Serve immediately.
