directions
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir the graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour) and sifted cocoa powder with the melted butter and sola sweetener.
2. Grease an 8 or 10-inch cheesecake pan (removable bottom) and line it with parchment paper. Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of the pan to form a pie crust.
3. Place the cream cheese, vanilla, peanut butter, and Sola sweetener in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use an electric hand mixer and a large bowl). Whisk the ingredients for approximately five minutes until smooth then gradually add the cream while whisking on medium speed.
4. Spoon the cream cheese-peanut butter filling over the chocolate crumbs and spread out using the back of a spoon or spatula so that you have a smooth, even layer, then place in the refrigerator for at least two hours to chill and firm up.
5. Transfer the pie to a serving plate and remove the sides of the pan.
6. Decorate with whipped cream, chocolate sauce (made according to recipe instructions), and a sprinkle of chopped, roasted peanuts.
