1/3 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Vanilla Agave

1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

1 cup warm water (Give or take)

40 Bite-sized Phyllo Cups

Pour the NurturMe® Hearty Sweet Potato pouches  into a bowl, add the water, and stir. Add in sweetener and spice.  Pour into preheated phyllo cups.  Dollop ¼ teaspoon of mascarpone on top of tarts with two spoons. Serve.

This recipe is a very easy way to incorporate the naturally sweet, low glycemic, vitamin A rich food, sweet potatoes.  It is very simple to make and appeases all parts of the palate. This could be an exciting passing dessert at a summer party or an excellent alternative to Thanksgiving’s Sweet potato pie.
