My mom would kill me if she knew I was posting this, she gave it to me and said "take it to your grave" but it's too good not to share with my fellow pumpkin lovers!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This pumpkin dessert should be called layers of pumpkin pie happiness! The graham cracker crust is sweet and crunchy. There's a hint of tanginess from the cream cheese layer on top. Egg whites make the pumpkin filling light, smooth and creamy. This would be an easy dessert for your holiday meal or when you're craving something pumpkin. Easy and yummy!

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dessert
- Pre heat oven to 350. Mix the crust ingredients until well blended; spread in a 9x13 pan. NOTE: You may need a little more on the butter, you want it to be about like a cheesecake crust.
- Beat the 2 eggs, sugar, and cream cheese until smooth. Spread over crust and bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely.
- In the meantime, mix the gelatin and water in a medium saucepan and let stand.
- Blend the pumpkin, egg yolks, sugar, milk and pumpkin pie spice.
- Add to gelatin and cook until thick, stirring frequently. Let cool.
- Beat the 3 egg whites until peaks form and add the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar.
- Fold into cooled pumpkin mixture.
- Pour over crust.
- Top with Cool Whip at time of serving.
