PUMPKIN CHIFFON LAYER CAKE 
2 c. crushed graham crackers
1/2 c. sugar
1 stick melted butter

Mix and press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch buttered pan.

3 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
11 oz. cream cheese (1-8 oz. and 1-3 oz. pkg.)

When light and fluffy, pour over the first mixture and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until set at 350 degrees.

1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin
3 egg yolks (save whites)
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. scant pumpkin pie spice

Cook over water in the double boiler for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. (This may be done in the microwave for about 3-4 minutes instead of using the double boiler.)

1/4 c. water
1 pkg. unflavored gelatin

Add to the cooled pumpkin mixture.

Beat egg whites, adding 5 teaspoons of sugar, until stiff. Add to pumpkin mixture. Pour over the baked part of the cake and refrigerate. Put Cool Whip and nuts on the top.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
