CAKI'S PUMPKIN CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• Soften gelatin in cold water.
• Mix well and set aside.
• Beat egg yolks in a medium-sized saucepan.
• Add brown sugar, milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and salt to the yolks in the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring slowly constantly until the mixture is thick. About 5-7 min.
• Once the mixture has come together, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the congealed gelatin.
• Pour the filling into a large bowl and chill in the fridge until thick. About 30 min.
• While the pumpkin mixture chills, begin the second half of the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream until the liquid stiffens and soft peaks rise. The cream can be whipped with a whisk attachment on a stand mixer, using a hand beater or, if you're feeling strong, opt for a hand-held whisk and go to town. Once the cream sufficiently stiffens, set aside. Caki's Cooking Tip: Chill the bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before adding the cream in order to shorten the whipping time.
• In a large clean bowl, beat egg whites until they are stiff. (Like whip cream, you'll know they're set when soft peaks form.) Caki's Cooking Tip: In order to ensure perfectly beaten egg whites: 1. Wipe the interior of the bowl with a lemon before adding the whites to get rid of any excess oils 2. Only whip egg whites at room temperature.
• Remove the pumpkin mixture from the fridge and gently fold into the egg whites one spoonful at a time.
• Once the egg whites and pumpkin are mixed, fold in the whip cream slowly. Ensuring not to flatten the egg whites.
• Mix until fully combined.
• Take out your premade crumb crust.
• Pour the filling into the crust and spread until even. Allow the pie to set in the fridge for at least an hour before digging in.
• Enjoy. Feel free to top the pie with a dollop of whip cream or a dash of cinnamon for presentation. The pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 2-3 days before serving.
