Cream Cheese Layer: Blend using a mixer and spoon over graham cracker crust

Bake crust and cream cheese layers fro 20 minutes at 350º Let cool.

Combine 1 envelope of Knox gelatin with 1/4 cup cold water. Let sit. Meanwhile make the pumpkin layer.

Stir in cooking pan. Cook on stove top until thick and bubbling (need to make sure eggs get done). Sir constantly to keep from burning.

Remove from heat and stir in Knox gelatin making sure there are no large lumps. Cool in refrigerator.
