Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and margarine. Evenly press into prepared pan to form a crust.

  4. In a 2 quart saucepan, combine the pumpkin, egg yolks, milk, 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.

  6. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beat until stiff. Fold into pumpkin mixture and pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours, and cut into squares. Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with walnuts.
