Pumpkin Torte

I had this last night and today I want more!

Crust:
13 whole graham crackers, crushed
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter, melted

Mix and press into a 9x13-inch pan


Layer 1:
2 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese

Beat eggs; add sugar and cream cheese. Beat until smooth. Pour over unbaked crust and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.


Layer 2:
1 sm. can pumpkin (2 c.)
3 egg yolks (use whites later)
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 envelope unflavored gelatin.
1/4 c. cold water

In saucepan cook pumpkin, egg yolks, sugar, milk, salt and cinnamon. Cook 10 minutes until thick. Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin which has been diluted in 1/4 c. cold water. Let all cool, about 20 minutes.

Take 3 egg whites and beat with 1/4 c. sugar until peaks form. Fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour on top of baked cream cheese layer. Refrigerate.
