Diabetic friendly French Silk Pie

#214 Stevia French Silk Pie

 Last Sunday night we watched the Oscars.  Loving, laughing and mocking those gaffs & gowns of the Red Carpet is great fun and all, but the part we love best about the Oscars feeds into our true competitive nature.
We download our own ballots and during all that Red Carpet crap we try to guess  the winners for each of the categories.
 Now, we haven't seen a single new movie in three years, so it's all a guessing game with us. 
Of course Stuart won.
He usually does.
 Along with enjoying our competitiveness, we delight ourselves with rewarding our victories.
My standard prize is to ask for something sexual.
He invariably wants something Chocolate.

This year he asked me to bake  his favorite Chocolate pie without sugar.

I've been meaning to get around to this, he is after all diabetic.  My evil plot to force him into marriage via sugar laden death pie isn't really the smartest thing I should do for the man I love. 
It's high time I got serious about baking more sugar free pies for him.
It might make for a more lasting relationship.

I have found Stevia is by far the best tasting sugar replacement with no heavy after taste, and it's all natural.
So here is my recipe  for a Stevia French Silk Pie.

 I baked this On Wednesday the 29th. Pie# 214....
