Ingredients
Crust:
300g oreos
80g plant based butter, melted
30g almond flour
½ tsp salt
Filling:
450g peanut butter
100g coconut cream (or ‘milk’ at the top of a refrigerated tin of coconut milk)
100g plant based butter
½ tsp salt
250g icing sugar
4-5 tbsp plant based milk
Topping:
15g plant based butter
15 g sugar
80g peanuts
50g chocolate, melted
Method
STEP 1
Start by making the crust. Transfer the oreos into a food processor (or blender) and mix until completely broken down and crumb-like in texture. In a bowl, stir together the oreo crumb, butter, almond flour and salt until fully incorporated and press tightly into a round pie dish. Place the pie dish into your freezer to chill while you make the filling (or for at least 30 minutes).
STEP 2
Next, make the filling. Transfer peanut butter, coconut cream, butter and salt to a large bowl and mix using an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes, until combined. A few tbsp at a time, add the icing sugar whilst the mixer is running (don’t try to add all the sugar at once - the icing sugar will cover every corner of your kitchen if you do this).
STEP 3
Depending on what type of peanut butter or coconut cream you used, the mixture might need to be loosened up with milk. Add milk, one tbsp at a time, until the mixture feels fluffy and easy to stir. Spread the filling as evenly as possible into the chilled crust.
STEP 4
To make the topping, combine butter, sugar and peanuts in a small saucepan over medium heat. Toast the peanuts in the butter and sugar mixture for 3-4 minutes then remove from heat.
STEP 5
Top the pie evenly with the coated peanuts and any remaining sugar/butter syrup. Last, drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with a little salt (optional).
STEP 6
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours and remove from the fridge 10 minutes before serving.
