Step-by-step
- Make Caramel: In a medium sauce pot, melt butter and xylitol together and stir until smooth and just boiling. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 1 minute. Add caramel extract, pinch of salt, and heavy whipping cream and stir well. Set aside to cool and thicken (it will thicken, but it may take an hour or so).
- Make Crust: Mix all crust ingredients together, then press into the bottom of a greased 9 inch pie pan.
- Make Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with caramel extract and Gentle Sweet until smooth and fluffy. Add heavy whipping cream and beat until mixture is slightly stiff and fluffy. Spread on prepared pie crust.
- Make Chocolate Drizzle: In a small microwaveable container, melt Lily's Chocolate Chips and coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
- Assemble Pie: Drizzle a small amount of both caramel and chocolate over the pie filling. Spread crushed peanuts over the top of the pie. Drizzle remaining caramel and chocolate over the top of the peanuts.
- Refrigerate or freeze until serving, and store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer. Slice pie into 10 servings.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and adaptability. It’s not overly complicated, making it perfect for a weeknight treat. The low-carb and sugar-free elements mean I can indulge without the guilt (or the subsequent sugar crash!), and the THM-S designation is a bonus for those following that particular plan.

It's a guaranteed conversation starter, with everyone curious about how I've managed to create such a delicious dessert that's also healthy-ish.

The Caramel and Chocolate Drizzle: The caramel and chocolate drizzle take this pie to the next level. The combination of the two is simply divine, providing a contrasting yet complementary flavor profile. The homemade caramel is richer and more flavorful than store-bought versions, and the quality of the Lily's chocolate chips ensures a truly decadent chocolate experience.
The Peanuts: Topped with crunchy, salted peanuts, the pie boasts a wonderful blend of textures, providing a satisfying crunch that offsets the creaminess of the filling.
