Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

If you're looking for a great version of classic pumpkin pie, this isn't it. But if you want to try a new take on an old standby,  this no-bake version is what you're looking for. The mousse-like filled light as a cloud, so you can easily eat more than one slice. I use gluten free gingersnap cookies for the crust! Everyone will be THANKFUL.
