Crust
- 1 3/4 cup almond flour (can sub sunflower seed flour)
- 1/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Peanut Butter Frosting
- 1 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (add a small pinch salt if your PB is unsalted)
- 5 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Toppings
- 4 keto peanut butter cups, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp salted peanuts, chopped

Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 300F and line a work surface with a silicone mat or a large piece of parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder and salt. Stir in the egg, melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto prepared work surface and pat into a circle. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out into a circle about 11 or 12 inches in diameter. Press and crimp the edges to form a nice even circle.
- Slide the silicone mat or parchment paper onto a bakign sheet and bake about 30 minutes, until firm to the touch.Remove from oven and let cool.
Frosting
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the sweetener and vanilla extract.
- Add 1 tbsp cream and beat until smooth. Add additional cream a few teaspoons at a time until a spreadable consistency is achieved (this will depend somewhat on how thick your peanut butter is).
- Spread the frosting over the cooled crust, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the outside.
Toppings
- Sprinkle the pizza with the chopped peanut butter cups and peanuts.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, heat the cream until bubbling. Add the chocolate chips and let sit for a few minutes to melt, then whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle over the cookie pizza and let set 20 minutes before cutting.
