How many carbs per serving does the Low Carb Peanut pie have? |
It's not very noticeable in the body of the recipe...

I think the recipe has a minor error in it and I also do a couple of minor tweaks.
First, for the chocolate I use two tablespoons of spoonable Splenda (that's not an error, just an alternative). I have also been adding about 50% more cream and Splenda than the recipe calls for because and it still seems a bit bitter - but isn't really noticeable in the finished product. Second, for the peanut butter layer, I think you are supposed to put in 4 oz of heavy cream. I use an electric blender to mix it and use it on the high setting. It's so thick that it doesn't whip it, but it does make it a bit fuller. I have been backing off on the Splenda a bit her since it seems a little bit two sweet. I start with 1/4 cup and then add a tad if necessary. Third, I make my own whipped cream starting with the 4oz of heavy whipping cream and adding the cocoa and Splenda to taste. |
A winner
Wow, this was delicious.
I made some of the modifications that Bill mentioned, and a few of my own.
The count I got for the whole recipe is as follows: Total: 3709 Fat: 361 3249 86% Sat: 155 1393 37% Poly: 42 382 10% Mono: 146 1311 35% Carbs: 84 203 5% Fiber: 33 0 0% Protein: 79 318 8% Alcohol: 1 10 0% This will be a definite addition to our repetoire of desserts we unleash upon unsuspecting high carbers ;) Nat |

I made this tonight and it's almost like a cheesecake.. DELICIOUS>>>
1 Tbsp. cocoa 8 packs of Equal (or sweetener of choice) 6 Tbsp. butter 4 oz. cream cheese 4 oz. heavy cream 2 Tbsp. heavy cream 5 Tbsp. Simply Jiff peanut butter 6 Tbsp. spoonable Splenda (if you don't have this, it measures like sugar so use your favorite sweetener) 1 cup crushed pecans 16 Tbsp. Cool Whip 1 square of unsweetened chocolate Crust: Mix pecans and 4 Tbsp. melted butter. Pour in pie plate, spread out to cover bottom of plate. Put in freezer. Chocolate Layer: Melt 2 Tbsp. butter and unsweetened chocolate in microwave on low setting for approximately 2 min. Mix in 2 Tbsp. cream and 1 tsp. vanilla. Stir well. Add in 8 packs of Equal. Pour over frozen pie crust. Put back in refrigerator. Peanut Butter Layer: Mix together: Peanut Butter 4 oz. cream cheese, 4 oz. heavy cream 1/3 cup Splenda. Mix with blender. Spread over frozen pie. Chocolate Whipped Topping: Mix 1 cup of Cool Whip, 1 tsp. vanilla, and 1 Tbsp. cocoa with spoon. Spread on top of pie. Refrigerate. Cut pie into 12ths. Each piece has 5.3 carb. This pie is delicious! It's very rich so 1/12 is more than you think. |
I made this last night and it was really good! I trimmed the carbs by cutting down on the splenda and using whipped heavy cream instead of kool whip.
