3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ginger 3 slightly beaten egg yolks 3/4 cup milk 1 1/4 cups canned or mashed cooked pumpkin 3 egg whites 1/3 cup granulated sugar 7 or 8 baked 4-inch tart shells, cooled
Directions:
In saucepan, combine brown sugar, gelatin, salt, spices. Combine egg yolks and milk; stir into brown sugar mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in pumpkin. Chill until mixture mounds lightly when spooned (testing every now and then). Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold pumpkin mixture thoroughly into egg whites. Turn into baked tart shells and chill.
Other suggestions and comments:
The secret to the fluffy filling is not to let the gelatin mixture get too stiff before folding it into the egg-white meringue. For an extra treat, garnish with whipped cream and chopped candied ginger.
