    Black-Bottomed Vegan Peanut Butter Pie

    11
    By Alisa Fleming on February 22, 2013 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    I love nut butter. No, I don’t shovel it by the spoonful into my mouth (I know some of you do, though!), but I do use a tablespoon or two almost every day to enjoy some healthy, creamy indulgence. From peanut butter to homemade cashew or pecan buttter, I love them all, and have quite the arsenal of nutty recipes. But in terms of creating a cookbook on the topic, my friend Robin Robertson beat me to the punch with Nut Butter Universe.

    Nut Butter Universe - Chocolate Vegan Peanut Butter Pie

    Nut Butter Universe, is an enticing collection of decadent, nut-filled goodies (both sweet and savory), yet every bite is dairy-free and vegan.  As a sample, Robin is sharing this gorgeous vegan peanut butter pie recipe with us. But it’s not just any old vegan peanut butter pie … this is a no bake, freezer pie with a rich chocolate cookie crust, garnished with chocolate curls and an extra dose of peanut-goodness.

    Nut Butter Universe - Chocolate Vegan Peanut Butter PieAccording to Robin, “This richly decadent vegan peanut butter pie is quick and easy to make, but looks and tastes like it took all day to prepare.” I agree, doesn’t it look incredible?!

    Special Diet Notes: Vegan Peanut Butter Pie

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally soy-free, vegan / plant-based, and vegetarian.

    For a gluten-free vegan peanut butter pie, simply use gluten-free chocolate cookie crumbs, such as ones made from Enjoy Life Crunchy Chocolate Cookies (they’re top allergen-free).

    For a soy-free vegan peanut butter pie use a soy-free, dairy-free margarine (Earth Balance offers a couple), select your favorite soy-free ice cream (cashew, coconut, rice or almond), keep an eye on the cookies you use (those Enjoy Life ones are soy-free), and pick a soy-free chocolate, such as Enjoy Life.

    For a nut-free vegan sunbutter pie, use a rice- or coconut-based ice cream, sunflower seed butter in place of the peanut butter, and omit the peanuts.

      I could shovel it into my mouth daily. But I, like you, show restraint. I am not sure I could show restraint with this pie!

      Did I see somewhere where we could get 1 free issue of Allergic Living? I would love to check it out and to tell my readers about it! But now I can’t find the info. Maybe I missed it. 🙁
