Ingredients
Scale
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 (15-ounce) can solid-packed pumpkin puree
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 (1-ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup cold water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 egg whites
- pinch cream of tartar
- Whipped Cream
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until dissolved, then stir it into the pumpkin mixture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture in three additions until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until the center is just set.
- Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for better volume. For best results, refrigerate the dessert overnight for optimal texture.
