Instructions
-
Soften the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften. This is the first step in creating that smooth, chiffon texture.
-
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, pumpkin puree, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Add the milk and continue to mix until everything is well incorporated. This will be the base for your pie filling.
-
Cook the Mixture: Pour the pumpkin mixture into a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, and cook until the mixture begins to thicken. This step ensures the pumpkin filling will set properly once chilled.
-
Add the Gelatin: Once the pumpkin mixture has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat. Stir in the softened gelatin and continue mixing until it is fully dissolved into the pumpkin mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
-
Fold in Whipped Cream: Once the pumpkin mixture has cooled, fold in half of the whipped cream. Be gentle as you fold, so the whipped cream doesn’t lose its airiness. The whipped cream will lighten the pumpkin filling and give it that perfect chiffon texture.
-
Fill the Pie Shell: Spoon the thickened pumpkin mixture into your prepared pie shell, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top for a clean, professional look.
-
Chill Until Set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for several hours, or until the filling is firm to the touch. This is an important step as it lets the pie set, giving it that signature chiffon texture.
-
Top with Remaining Whipped Cream: Once the pie is set, top it with the remaining whipped cream. You can either spread it smoothly or create peaks for a more decorative finish.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the whipped cream is added, your Brown-Dunkin’s Pumpkin Chiffon Pie is ready to be served! Slice it up and enjoy this light and creamy dessert that’s perfect for any holiday table.
This Brown-Dunkin’s Pumpkin Chiffon Pie is the perfect blend of seasonal pumpkin flavor, delicate whipped cream, and a smooth, custard-like filling.
