1 1/2 C. Grape Nuts
2 blocks of Mori Nu silken light tofu
2T. water
2 vanilla Mori Nu pudding mix
1 C. pumpkin filling unsweetened
1 T. vanilla

In a 9x9 pan add the Grape Nuts so that the bottom of the pan is evenly coated. In a blender, add tofu, water, and pudding mix. Blend until smooth. In a medium bowl, stir together the blended pudding mix, pumpkin filling, vanilla, and cinnamon. Slowly add the mixture to the top of the Grape Nuts (be careful not move the crust around). Smooth it out with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 days so the pudding can soak into the Grape Nuts.
