3. Press the date dough evenly along the bottom of the prepared pan.
4. In the same food processor or high-powered blender combine all of the filling ingredients and blend for 5 min, or until the mixture is silky smooth, and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared pan over the crust. Smooth out the top.
6. Top with maqui berry powder and cacao nibs.
