Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 3 grams sea salt
• 25 grams PB Cup spread
• 80 grams unsweetened cashew milk

For the Chocolate Layer:

• Chopped almonds or peanuts

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine oat flour, black cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, sea salt, PB Cup spread, and unsweetened cashew milk until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Place it in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Chocolate Layer: In a high-speed blender, blend together unsweetened cashew milk and sugar-free chocolate pudding mix until smooth. Refrigerate the mixture to chill and thicken while you prepare the PB cream layer.
3. Prepare the PB Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine nonfat Greek yogurt, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, Peanut Flour, powdered stevia, sea salt, and Protein PB. Mix until well combined.
4. Assemble the Pie: Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the PB layer evenly over it. Then, pour the chilled chocolate layer over the PB layer. If desired, top with defrosted lite Cool Whip for an extra indulgent touch.
5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Once set, slice into 8 pieces and savor each delightful bite!

Why Dark Cocoa Powder?

Not only does it add a rich, chocolatey, oreo-esque flavor to our mud pie, minus the artificial ingredients, but it also packs a powerful punch of health benefits. Dark cocoa powder is loaded with antioxidants called flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body. These antioxidants may contribute to lower blood pressure and improved heart health. Plus, indulging in chocolatey treats like this mud pie can lift your spirits and enhance your mood, thanks to the release of feel-good chemicals like serotonin and endorphins in the brain. So, not only does dark cocoa powder add irresistible flavor to our Lightened Up Oreo Mud Pie, but it also offers a range of health perks that make indulging in dessert even sweeter.

Indulge in this Lightened Up Oreo Mud Pie and treat yourself to a taste of heaven! Enjoy every creamy, chocolatey bite while staying on track with your macros. Cheers to delicious desserts that nourish the body and soul!
