Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1/4
cup fine gingersnap crumbs (about 6 gingersnaps)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 large egg yolk
1 can (1 pound) solid-pack pumpkin
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions:
1.
Lightly coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch
pie pan with the cooking spray. Place the gingersnap
crumbs into the coated pie pan. Tilt the pan from
side to side until the sides and bottom are lightly
but evenly dusted with the crumbs. Refrigerate
while you prepare the filling.
2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of the
sugar and 1/4 cup of the milk; sprinkle the gelatin
and ginger evenly over the surface and let soften
for 5 minutes. Set the saucepan over moderately
low heat and cook, stirring, for 5 to 6 minutes
or until the gelatin and sugar dissolve. Remove
from the heat.
3. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and remaining
milk together, then slowly whisk in the hot gelatin
mixture. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan,
set over low heat, and cook, stirring, for 2 to
3 minutes or until slightly thickened; be careful
not to boil or the mixture will curdle.
4. Transfer the filling to a large bowl, blend
in the pumpkin, cover and refrigerate for 20 to
30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture
mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.
5. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat
the egg whites and cream of tartar at moderate
speed until foamy; slowly add the remaining 1/4
cup sugar and beat at moderately high speed until
the whites hold soft peaks.
6. With a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites
into the pumpkin mixture and spoon into the crust.
Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.
