Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Using a food processor, place all the ingredients except the 1/8 cup sugar and pie shell into the bowl and blend for several minutes until smooth.
Pour mixture into the prepare pie shell. I place my pie shell on a baking sheet for easier grip when putting the pie in and taking out of the oven.
Sprinkle the pie with 1/8 cup of sugar all over the top.
Bake the pie for about an hour until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool before serving. Top with whipped cream.
