INGREDIENTS
Crust:
3 tablespoons Fast Metabolism Quick & Easy Dessert and Snack Mix
7 tablespoons pasteurized egg whites
Filling:
1/2 cup birch-based xylitol
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/2 cup Fast Metabolism Quick & Easy Dessert and Snack Mix
1/2 cup pasteurized egg whites
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Marshmallow topping:
2 tablespoons Fast Metabolism Quick & Easy Dessert and Snack Mix
2 tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS
Make the crust:

Meanwhile, make the filling:

Make the marshmallow topping:

- Drop by heaping teaspoonful onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Broil just until the marshmallows are golden.
- Top the pie with the toasted marshmallows, and serve.
