Our pumpkin chiffon pie is an easy seasonal dessert that will make its mark at your next fall gathering. The levels of this dessert go from crunchy to cloud-like as you bite through layers of a graham cracker crust to a rich cream cheese filling then fluffy pumpkin chiffon and whipped cream. It’s a light-as-air autumn treat that delivers all the flavors of fall in a perfect pie, sure to be the star of the dessert table.<\/p>\n
Chiffon pie has a fluffy, aerated filling that\u2019s created by folding a meringue or whipped cream into a custard or curd. Our recipe features pumpkin and cream cheese, but there are also fruit-based chiffons like lemon\u00a0chiffon pie<\/a> and orange chiffon pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and lump-free. Fold in the whipped topping until evenly incorporated. Using a spatula or a mini offset spatula, spread it into the premade graham cracker crust.<\/p>\n In another bowl, beat the milk and pudding mixes on low speed until combined. Beat on high for two minutes, then let the mixture stand for three minutes. Carefully fold in the pumpkin and spices. Spread the chiffon mixture over the cream cheese layer.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> In the market for new mixing appliances? Our Test Kitchen found the best hand mixer<\/a> and best stand mixer models<\/a> for your kitchen to make mixing a breeze.<\/p>\n Place your chiffon pie in the fridge, and let it chill until set, two to three hours. Top the pie with nuts and\/or additional whipped topping.<\/p>\n Loosely wrap this pie with storage wrap, and keep it in the fridge for up to three days.<\/p>\n No, you cannot freeze pumpkin chiffon pie. We’ve done meticulous research on how to freeze a pie<\/a>, and we’ve found that cream-based pies typically do not freeze well because the filling separates as it thaws, creating a soggy mess.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make this pie ahead of time. Make the chiffon pie as directed the day before serving, and store the pie in the fridge. Hold off on garnishing with whipped cream and\/or nuts until you serve the pie.<\/p>\n There are some differences between a chiffon pie and a custard pie. Chiffon can<\/em> have a custard filling, but custard pies always<\/em> have a custard filling. Also, a chiffon pie\u2019s custard is lightened as whipped cream or meringue is folded into the custard. This produces a light, airy filling compared to custard pie\u2019s dense, thick filling.<\/p>\n Chiffon pies are thickened with gelatin. Gelatin provides the best structure for chiffon\u2019s incredibly light and airy filling so a chiffon slice can stand on its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a tasty treat during the fall, try this pumpkin chiffon pie.
