One Graham Cracker Crust. You can always buy the pre-made pie crusts or make your own with the simple recipe below.

Mix together the sweetener, peanut butter and cream cheese in a bowl. If you use a mixer, use a slow speed and mix until smooth.

Pour into crusts and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
It is that simple, and you will be able to enjoy your treat in a short time.
