Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree

1 cup light cream

0.25 cup milk

0.5 tsp ground ginger

0.5 tsp ground nutmeg

0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

0.25 tsp ground cloves

0.25 tsp salt

0.25 cup white sugar

0.25 cup cold water

1 (0.25 oz) package unflavored gelatin

4 egg yolks

0.5 cup white sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 tbsp Scotch whiskey

1 cup heavy cream

1 (9 in) baked pastry shell

Directions

In a blender, combine pumpkin puree, light cream, milk, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth.

In a small bowl, mix cold water and gelatin to soften.

In a large saucepan, beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until thick and pale (about 5 minutes). Add the blended pumpkin mixture and heat gently over low heat, stirring just until mixture is hot with small bubbles forming. Do not boil.

Stir in vanilla, whiskey, and gelatin mixture. Refrigerate mixture until it begins to set (about 20 minutes).

Using a hand mixer, whip heavy cream in a large bowl. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture. Swirl the spatula through the center and around the sides of the bowl until fully incorporated. Add remaining cream, folding just until combined.

Pour mixture into prepared pastry shell and chill until set (2-3 hours). Garnish with additional whipped cream, if desired.
