Carrot Chiffon Pie

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 packet Unflavored gelatin
1 1/4 cups Milk
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground cardamom
1/2 tsp Ground mace
1/4 tsp Ground ginger
1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
2 Carrots
1 Egg
2 Egg whites
1/4 cup Sugar (for egg whites)
1 9-inch graham cracker crust
1 cup Whipped cream

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Gelatin Mixture: In a heavy saucepan, combine the unflavored gelatin and 1 cup of milk. Heat gently over low heat until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat.

  2. Add Flavor: To the gelatin mixture, add the sugar, salt, ground cardamom, ground mace, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Stir until well combined.

  3. Prepare Carrot Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and grated carrots until smooth. Gradually add 4 tablespoons of the warm milk mixture to the egg and carrot mixture, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly.

  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the warmed egg yolk and carrot mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over very low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly. Be careful not to curdle the eggs.

  5. Chill: Remove the mixture from heat and chill in the refrigerator until it is partially set.

  6. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

  7. Fold In: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the partially set carrot mixture, along with the whipped cream, until fully combined.

  8. Assemble: Pile the chiffon filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

  9. Chill Again: Chill the pie in the refrigerator until it is firm, at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  10. Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the Carrot Chiffon Pie into generous portions and serve chilled.
