- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Filling
- 1/2 tablespoon unflavoured gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 7-inch springform pan.

- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- To prepare filling, sprinkle gelatin powder in water. Let stand for 5 minutes. Microwave 10 to 20 seconds on high until mixture is liquidy and gelatin dissolves. Let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, mix pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt until completely smooth.
- Transfer pumpkin mixture to a bowl with gelatin mixture and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
- In a bowl of a standing mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Fold meringue in the pumpkin mixture, half at a time, until just incorporated.
- Pour batter into the cool crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the tart until set, at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, whip up the remaining heavy cream and sugar until firm. Top the tart with the whipped cream and nuts.
