Light Pumpkin Mousse Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 4 large pasteurized eggs, separated and divided
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Combine water and gelatin in a small, heat-resistant container and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to soften.
3
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg yolks until they become smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar while continuously mixing the egg yolks until well combined. Then, incorporate pumpkin puree and evaporated milk into the mixture, blending each ingredient thoroughly.
4
Add a blend of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the bowl and mix until everything is well incorporated.
5
Place the bowl over a double boiler, ensuring it's positioned above boiling water. Using a whisk, continuously stir the mixture over heat until it reaches the desired consistency, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
6
Gradually add the gelatin mixture into the bowl and whisk until it's fully incorporated and dissolved. Remove the bowl from heat and let the mixture cool until it thickens and forms a mound when dropped by spoonfuls, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
7
While the pumpkin mixture is cooling, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites in a medium-sized bowl until they become soft and fluffy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar while continuously mixing until stiff peaks form.
8
Combine the cooled pumpkin mixture with the egg white mixture and gently fold until well combined.
9
Transfer the filling to a pre-made graham cracker crust and refrigerate it for about 1 hour, or until firm.
