Method

Crust: Mix together dry ingredients. Cut butter into dry mixture with two knives until crumbly and butter is well incorporated and the size of small peas. Press mixture into bottom of 10 x 15 x 2 pan and bake at 350 degrees, about 10-15 minutes or until slightly brown. Custard: Combine gelatin, brown sugar, salt and spices in medium saucepan. Combine egg yolks and milk then stir into gelatin mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add canned pumpkin. Chill in freezer or refrigerator until mixture drops from a spoon (one-two hours). Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar and beat until stiff. Fold chilled pumpkin mixture into the egg whites and then fold in the whipped cream. Pour pumpkin mixture over crust. Chill until firm. Serve with dollops of Cool Whip.
