How to Make Chiffon Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the gingersnap crust: In a food processor, pulse gingersnaps until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add to the pumpkin mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in whipped cream until just combined.
  6. Pour filling into the prepared crust.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center might still jiggle slightly.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set.
  9. Before serving, top with whipped cream.
