Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) Digestive Biscuits or Reduced-Fat Graham Crackers, finely crushed
- 4 Tbsp (56 g) Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) Brown Sugar (optional, for texture)
- 16 oz (450 g) Plain Greek Yogurt (0% or 2% fat), chilled
- 1 cup (250 g) Natural Creamy Peanut Butter, stirred well
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Low-Calorie Sweetener (e.g., Erythritol, Maple Syrup, or Honey)
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Vanilla Extract
- ¼ tsp (1 g) Pinch of Salt
- 8 oz (225 g) Light Whipped Topping (thawed)
- 1 oz (30 g) Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa minimum), melted (optional)
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) Chopped Peanuts, lightly toasted (optional)
Instructions:
- Crush the Base: Finely crush the digestive biscuits until they resemble fine sand using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Combine: Place crushed biscuits into a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and optional brown sugar. Mix until the crumbs are uniformly damp.
- Press & Chill: Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and firmly press it across the bottom and up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Whip the Yogurt Base: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the chilled Greek yogurt, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until completely smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Adjust sweetener if needed.
- Fold (The Crucial Step): Gently fold the thawed light whipped topping into the peanut butter yogurt mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix carefully, stopping as soon as no white streaks remain to maintain the airy texture.
- Fill & Set: Spoon the airy peanut butter mixture into the chilled crust. Cover the pie loosely and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mixture to fully set.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the pie. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Use a sharp, hot knife to cut clean slices.
