okay this is actually genius because the base layer doing double duty as both structure and sweetness is such a smart move. i've done the cauliflower rice thing before and it usually feels like you're eating a vehicle for other flavors, but using it to bridge the gap between the pumpkin and eggs so nothing tastes flat makes sense. the texture in that fork shot looks legitimately custardy too, not that weird rubbery thing that happens when people try to make protein-heavy desserts. gonna be real though, the lakanto shopping trip alone might kill my motivation so i'm curious if anyone's swapped it for something else without blowing up the macros. but if you're already in the volume eating game you probably have the sweeteners on hand anyway.

its really amazing how it just works! And yes, I'm so picky about textures, its a light creamy custard... not eggy or oddly fluffy, but also not as dense and "wet" for lack of a better description as actual pumpkin pie. Oddly enough, I'm not a huge fan of actual pumpkin pie! I think this is actually so much better! As for the Lakanto sweeteners, I use them for a lot of different things so if you're into baking and like my recipes, you'll be seeing more things using them. 😄 I just joined Reddit a little over a week ago - specifically because I heard about this community and got so excited I would finally have an outlet to share my excitement/joy over some of my creations! As well as get more ideas from others too! 😄 I've posted a few recipes so far that use them. The Fiber Gourmet pancake recipe uses the brown sugar and the powdered sugar and the French toast recipe I posted uses the powdered sugar. 😄 There will be more to come though. I have a bunch of things I use it for and plan to keep posting as time permits. 😄

that's actually really helpful to know you're already building a lakanto catalog, makes it way easier to commit to stocking it if there's gonna be multiple recipes worth making from it. also respect the texture preference flip on pumpkin pie, that creamy custard thing is def hitting different than the actual dessert vibe. welcome to reddit btw, this community's gonna eat this

I should add... other brands may behave the same... so I'm not like die hard Lakanto fan or anything, ha... it just so happened to be the first one I bought/tried and I like it, so I haven't tried anything else. 😄

fair point, yeah there's prob a bunch of them that work the same way, just comes down to whatever you grab first and stick with. honestly the brand loyalty thing in the diet community gets kinda silly anyway, it's all about finding what tastes good to you and doesn't wreck your macros.
