Categories     Dessert

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 [blind-baked pie crust]
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
3 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
1/2 cup whole milk
14.5 ounces pumpkin puree (just a little under 2 cups if using fresh pumpkin puree)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sweetened whipped cream (for topping)

Steps:

  • Blind-bake the pie crust in a 400 degree F. oven for 15 minutes with pie weights, then another 15 minutes until fully baked. Cool completely.
  • Dissolve the gelatin by sprinkling it over the water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the sugar with the salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, egg yolks, milk, and pumpkin. Whisk well and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, just until the mixture is hot and has thickened slightly, but hasn't come to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin and vanilla. Cool completely to room temperature but don't refrigerate yet since the gelatin will set in the fridge.
  • When the filling has cooled, beat the egg whites until soft peaks start to form. Continue beating, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the stiffened egg whites into the pumpkin mixture, then pour it into the cooled pie shell. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until firm, then top with sweetened whipped cream and dust with cinnamon for presentation.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, use a firm, ripe pumpkin with a deep orange color. Smaller pumpkins tend to have a sweeter flavor than larger ones.
  • Use fresh orange zest: Fresh orange zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the chiffon dessert. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried orange peel.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense chiffon dessert. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the chiffon dessert in a water bath: This will help to prevent the chiffon dessert from drying out and cracking.
  • Let the chiffon dessert cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chiffon dessert to set properly.
