Pumpkin Torte - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Crust
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (, about 12 long crackers)
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
Cream Cheese Mix
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
Pumpkin Mix
2 cups pumpkin (canned)
3 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 egg whites

Preparation

Mix crust ingredients until moist, and press*very* gently and evenly into bottom of 9\"x13\" cake pan.
Blend'cream cheese mix' ingredients until smooth and free of lumps; I find it easiest to cream the cheese& sugar together, then gradually add the egg.
Pour over crust, then bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees Farenheit.
Cool to room temp.
Combine all'pumpkin mix' ingredients except last three (egg whites, gelatin and 1/4 cup sugar); cook on stovetop until thickened.
Remove from heat.
Dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water; add to pumpkin mixture.
Cool to room temperature.
Whip the egg whites, gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar, until stiff.
Gently fold into pumpkin mixture.
Fill cake pan with pumpkin mixture; chill and serve with whipped cream.
