Ingredients
Crust (choose one)
- one inch blind baked pie crust
- Graham Cracker Crust
Pumpkin Filling
- 1 envelope envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks beaten slightly
- 1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
Meringue & Whipped Cream
- 6 tablespoons pasteurized egg whites

Instructions
- Prepare your pie crust of choice and set aside.
- Combine all of the ingredients for the pumpkin filling into a heavy-bottomed medium size saucepan. Over medium heat, cook the mixture, stirring continuously until the gelatin dissolves. Let the mixture come to a low boil, then remove and chill until partially set.
- Prepare the meringue. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat the whipped cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the meringue and the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture gently, until completely combined. Spoon into the prepared pie crust.
- Chill for 2-3 hours until completely firm.
- Top with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
