This is great grandma Lois's recipe, and it's dad's absolute favorite pumpkin pie in the world! (Mine, too - but the way he goes on about it you'd think it was his grandma's recipe.) We love it with a homemade graham cracker crust, which is super easy to make.
It doesn't require an oven (except for the pie crust), just a stovetop and a double boiler.
Ingredients
3 Eggs, separated into yolks and whites
1 Cup Sugar
1 1/4 Cup Pureed Pumpkin
1/2 Cup Milk
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Ginger
1/2 Tsp Nutmeg
1 Tbsp Unflavored Gelatin
1/4 Cup Water
1 Graham Cracker Pie Shell
Directions
1. Heat water in the bottom of a double boiler until boiling. In a mixer, beat egg yolk plus 1/2 cup sugar til thick. Add pumpkin, milk, salt and spices and mix together. Transfer this mixture to the top of a double boiler and cook until thick.
2. Soften gelatin in the 1/4 cup of cold water for five minutes. Stir into hot mixture.
3. In the mixer, beat egg whites until stiff, then add 1/2 cup sugar. Add to double boiler and mix.
4. Pour into pie shell and chill for at least three hours. Serve with whipped cream.
