Process dates through a Juicer using the solid screen.

Next place the cacao nibs in a coffee grinder or food processor and grind until they are the consistency of finely ground coffee.

Place all ingredients, including the processed dates and cacao nibs in a food processor and process until they are well blended.

For the topping, if using dates, process the dates, again using the solid screen. To whip topping, place whipping cream in a bowl and whip until cream is stiff and fold in remaining ingredients.

Pour into pie shell, top with whipped cream for ultimate decadence, sprinkle top with ground cacao nibs and refrigerate.  It is delicious served with fresh raspberries, strawberries or mint.

Makes 9-inch pie

* Every brand of stevia has a different level of sweetness so you will need to test it first to really know how much to add. When you have the correct proportion you should not be able to taste the stevia, it should just increase the sweetness of other sweeteners so you don't have to add as much of them.
