Instructions

Soak the Cashews:

  • Transfer the cashews to a large bowl and fill with boiling water so that the cashews are completely covered in hot water. Soak for at least two hours (note: you can also soak the cashews overnight).

  • Once the cashews have finished soaking (they should appear larger and puffy and feel soft to the touch), drain them into a colander.

Make the Crust:

  • Add all of the ingredients for the crust to a food processor and process until a thick dough forms. It should be the consistency of very thick nut butter or cookie dough.

  • Transfer the crust mixture to a parchment-lined 8-inch springform pan and press it into an even layer. Freeze the crust while you work on the rest of the recipe.

Prepare the Peanut Butter Pie Filling:

  • Transfer the full-fat canned coconut milk to a high-powered blender along with the peanut butter. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer the rest of the ingredients for the filling to the blender (soaked and drained cashews, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt) and blend until completely smooth.

Make the Peanut Butter Pie:

  • Transfer the peanut butter pie filling to the pie pan and spread it into an even layer. Transfer to the freezer and freeze for one hour.
  • After the pie has been in the freezer for one hour, you can make the chocolate ganache. To do so, add the chocolate chips, coconut milk, and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 20-second intervals, stirring well in between, until melted, about 60 seconds total.

  • If desired, decorate the pie with roasted peanuts. Freeze the pie for at least another hour (or longer if you want the slices to slice perfectly rather than being softer).

Notes

*unsweetened cocoa powder
**In total, you will need 1 (15-oz) can of full-fat coconut milk - part of which will be used for the peanut butter cheesecake filling, and the remainder of which will be used for the chocolate ganache.
***You can replace the coconut oil with butter if you do dairy.
