As the recipe titled states, this is literally the “Lightened-Up” version of the Pumpkin Custard Silk Squares. The original version is a celebratory heavy S, which can be indulged in on the holidays. When making this year-round, best to use this “lightened up” version that lightens up both the crust and the filling. Still great, but more fuel-conscious. So if you are a pumpkin freak like Serene and want to make this frequently, this is the version for you.

Ingredients
For the Light 'N" Luscious No-Bake Crust
For the Filling
Instructions
-
Make the crust. Process the coconut, almond flour, and Baking Blend in a food processor for a couple minutes so they start releasing their own oils. Add the coconut oil and process again for a minute or so. Add the whey protein, salt, sweetener, water, and almond extract, and process one last time. Press with water-dampened fingers into an 8-inch glass baking dish or a regular pie plate. Refrigerate. You are done with the crust!
-
Make the filling. Place the gelatin in the bottom of a 1-cup measuring cup. Add the cool water, stir well, then add the boiled water to melt it properly and stir again until dissolved. Add enough water to the cup to come up to 2/3 cup, then pour into a blender. Continue to make in the exact same way as for Pumpkin Custard Silk Squares or Pie (page 410) by blending all the other ingredients, but be sure to add the extra cup of water to the filling.
