Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch turmeric (optional)
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place tofu and maple syrup in blender or food processor with vanilla, salt and spices and blend well until smooth and creamy.
- Put pumpkin in a medium mixing bowl and add blender contents, whisking until well-mixed.
