Many of us who have had pumpkin chiffon pie can never go back to the traditional version. This is a light fluffy pie with the same spicy pumpkin flavor we are all accustomed to.

    My husband refuses to eat any pumpkin pie unless it is pumpkin chiffon. Thank heavens this recipe is easy to make. If I'm REALLY strapped for time I'll buy a frozen pre-made pie crust but typically I just make a quick graham cracker crumb crust. I make this every Thanksgiving and I make it the night before so I don't have so much to do on TD. Once you try this you'll probably never want to go back to the old "dense" traditional pumpkin pie.
