Pumpkin Mousse Pie
- 1 9-inch frozen pie crust, thawed
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- Place a baking sheet in oven and preheat to 400u0b0F. Bake pie crust until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Place crust on a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1 Tbsp. cold water and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together pumpkin, pumpkin-pie spice and vanilla until well blended. Place 2 inches water in a double boiler and bring to a simmer. Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in top of double boiler and heat, whisking, until mixture registers 160u0b0F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat and continue to whisk until cool and increased in volume, about 5 minutes. Heat gelatin mixture at 5-second intervals in microwave until dissolved, stirring between intervals. Let cool slightly, then whisk into egg yolk mixture.
- Fold pumpkin mixture into yolk mixture. Fold in whipped cream. Scrape filling into cooled pie crust and spread evenly. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
