NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER
PIE
If you love peanut butter, this rich, creamy Peanut Butter
Pie will delight you! The shortbread crust compliments the pie very nicely. I prefer Skippy® natural peanut butter as it is smooth
and creamy and there is no need to stir it.
Smucker’s® natural
peanut butter has no sugar, tastes a bit too salty and it needs to be mixed
(not easy – best is to scoop it all out and process in a food processor and
then return to the jar) but they both have the same amount of carbs, so I
prefer the former for sure.
The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience. For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively. Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1. There is another article and video here: Part 2.
