Delicious Pumpkin Chiffon Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
• 0.25 cup cold water
• 4 large pasteurized eggs, separated and divided
• 1.25 cups white sugar, divided
• 1.25 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.67 cup evaporated milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Instructions

1. Gather all the necessary ingredients for your pumpkin chiffon pie.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together water and gelatin. Let it sit and bloom for approximately 5 minutes.
3. In a medium heat-safe bowl, beat the egg yolks until they become thick. Gradually beat in 1 cup of sugar, followed by the pumpkin puree, and then the evaporated milk, ensuring each ingredient is fully incorporated. Add the cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix everything until thoroughly combined.
4. Place the bowl over a double boiler with boiling water. Cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Add the gelatin mixture to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool until it thickens and mounds when dropped from a spoon, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
6. While the pumpkin mixture cools, beat the egg whites in a medium glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
7. Gently fold the cooled pumpkin mixture into the prepared egg white mixture.
8. Transfer the chiffon pie filling into the graham cracker crust. Chill in the refrigerator until the filling is firm, which typically takes about 1 hour before serving.
9. Once chilled and firm, slice and serve your delightful pumpkin chiffon pie! Enjoy!
