PUMPKIN CHIFFON PIE

Provided by Babs7

Categories     Pie

Time 3h25m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (29 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon, sifted
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, sifted
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, sifted
3 (7 g) envelopes unflavored gelatin
5 large eggs, separated
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup white corn syrup
1/4 cup water
3 ready made graham cracker pie crusts

Steps:

  • In large sauce pan (4 quart size) combine; pumpkin, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and gelatin.
  • Stir in separated egg yolks until well combined.
  • Stir in one can of evaporated milk.
  • Over medium heat, stirring constantly, heat to boiling.
  • Remove from heat and stir in second can of evaporated milk (to cool the mixture).
  • Stir occasionally to keep skin from forming and to aid in cooling (cool to lukewarm).
  • In a large glass or metal bowl (not plastic) beat egg whites until soft peaks form and set aside.
  • In small sauce pan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water.
  • Bring to a boil and cook to soft ball stage.
  • With beaters mixing the egg whites, pour hot syrup in a thin stream into the beaten egg whites.
  • Continue to beat for 5 minutes.
  • Fold together the pumpkin mixture and egg white mixture until no streaks of white can be seen.
  • Cool until mixture will mound when dropped from spoon.
  • Spoon into pie shells.
  • Refrigerate so gel can set.
  • Will make filling for three 9 inch pies.
  • Top with Cool Whip or whipped cream and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the perfect gingersnap crust, use a food processor to finely grind the gingersnaps until they resemble coarse crumbs. This will ensure an even and consistent texture.
  • When making the pumpkin filling, be sure to use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. Canned pumpkin puree can also be used, but fresh puree will give the pie a more vibrant color and richer taste.
  • To prevent the pie from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking them into the hot milk mixture. This will help to gradually raise the temperature of the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.
  • For a perfectly smooth and creamy filling, strain the pumpkin mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the pie crust. This will remove any lumps or solids from the mixture.
  • To achieve a golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with an egg wash before baking. This will also help to seal in the filling and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will give the filling time to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin chiffon pie with a gingersnap crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy and flavorful filling and crispy gingersnap crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
