In small saucepan, combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, salt and spices. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add gelatin mixture and stir til completely dissolved. Pour milk mixture into pumpkin mixture and whisk until completely smooth.
Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate until chilled and completely set, about 3 hours (or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days). To serve, whip cream with confectioners sugar until soft peaks form. Serve with pie.
