What is a Chiffon Pie?

A chiffon pie is similar to a custard pie, but the filling is folded with meringue to make it light and fluffy. And this pie definitely is! This silky smooth pumpkin pie will knock your fuzzy socks off. It is SO full of fall flavor and is gone faster than my regular pumpkin pie recipe (which is fantastic so that’s saying something).

Biscoff Cookie Crumbs: You can actually buy Biscoff Cookie crumbs, or you can pulse them in a food processor until fine. Or you can use the method I used growing up- put them in a Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin!Granulated Sugar: The sugar you have in your pantry is what you should use for this pie.Butter: I used salted butter in this chiffon pie. This recipe calls for melted butter.Vanilla Extract: Whatever you use for baking will work great for this pie.

Pumpkin Chiffon Pie Filling Ingredients

Unflavored Gelatin: You should be able to find unflavored gelatin in the baking aisle of your grocery store. This helps the pie set up.Ground Cinnamon: It’s a classic pairing with pumpkin, and great for the holidays!Ground Nutmeg: Adds warm, earthy flavor.Ground Clove: Cloves are a little floral, and a bit sweet! They really bring the wow factor to this pie!Ground Ginger: Adds a sharp flavor that pairs perfectly with pumpkin.Salt: Enhances the flavors in the pie.Sugar: To sweeten the filling.Pumpkin Puree: You should be able to find a can of regular pumpkin puree without the spices. If you have canned pumpkin pie filling and want to use that, you’ll want to cut back on the other spices in this pie.Egg Yolks: You will need to separate your egg whites from yolks, so I like that this recipe calls for both so you don’t have any extra whites or yolks.Whole Milk: Whole milk really is best for this recipe. You could probably get away with 2%, but your milk needs to have fat in it.Egg Whites: This is to make the meringue.Cream of Tartar: This helps to stabilize the egg whites and helps them get nice and fluffy.

Making the Biscoff Crust

How to Make Pumpkin Chiffon Pie Filling

Using a Clean Bowl: It’s important that your bowl and whisk are spotless. If you have any fat from oil or something you’ve made before it will affect the egg whites. Using Room Temperature Eggs: Eggs will separate more easily when they are cold, but they will whip up better when at room temperature. I recommend separating them before you start making your crust, then leave the whites out for 20 minutes. Then they will be ready to whip up and get fluffy!Whip to Stiff Peaks: You want to whisk them until you get stiff peaks but not much past that. A stiff peak means the eggs are smooth, white, shiny, and stand up straight when you pull the whisk out. You will know if you over-whip them because they will get grainy and won’t look shiny anymore.Folding Egg Whites In: When folding them into the pumpkin mixture take care to fold gently, not stir or whisk. I recommend adding about ¼ of your egg whites and folding that first. Then you can add the rest and finish folding it in.

Note: This recipe uses raw beaten egg whites, if you are nervous about using raw eggs you can use pasteurized egg whites instead. In the Refrigerator: Store this pie in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. In the Freezer: You can freeze this pie, although it won’t be as good as when it is fresh. Store in an airtight container without the whipped cream on top for up to a month.
