Thank you so much to viewer Crystal for sending in this delicious vegan peanut butter pie recipe:
“I’ve been dairy-free since August when we found out my nursing baby is allergic to milk. I love to cook and was completely lost at first. It has been a major adjustment for myself and my family and at first I had a lot of disappointments for dinner. The last several months I’ve learned so much about how to live and cook dairy-free, in large part from Go-Dairy Free (which I got for Christmas). Thank you!
Now I’ve found lots of yummy things to eat and have finally started having success at modifying my old favorites. I hope others like this pie as much as I do. It’s dairy-free, egg-free, and I suppose could be gluten-free if using a gluten-free crust.”
