Directions
-
In a saucepan, combine gelatin, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg.

Stir in milk, mashed pumpkin, and slightly beaten egg yolks.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until hot throughout and gelatin is completely dissolved (8 to 10 minutes).

Set the saucepan in a bowl of cold water to cool the mixture until it is firm but not hard, stirring occasionally.

In a large mixer bowl, beat egg whites until foamy.

Gradually beat in powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Without washing the beaters, beat the cooled pumpkin mixture until it is smooth and fluffy.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin mixture.
-
Heap the filling lightly into the baked crumb or pastry crust.
-
Refrigerate the pie for 3 hours to set.
-
For the topping, combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla or ginger spice in a chilled bowl.
-
Beat the topping until just stiff enough to hold its shape.
-
Spread the whipped cream topping in swirls over the set pie before serving.
-
Keep refrigerated until served.
