Prepare the crust:

Preheat over to 400º. In a large bowl combine cookie crumbs, melted butter sugar and salt. Press into a 9 inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.

Make the filling:

In a small bowl sprinkle unflavored gelatin over ¼ cup Cointreau to soften for 5 minutes. Set the mixture over a bowl of hot water and stir till gelatin is dissolved.
In a heavy saucepan whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream and ¼ cup of sugar and 2 egg yolks and the 5 spices and cook the mixture over medium heat stirring constantly for 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl and stir in gelatin mixture. Let cool.
In a large bowl beat 2 egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Beat in remaining ¼ cup sugar 2 tablespoons at a time, beating the meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Fold this into pumpkin mixture and put into crust. Lightly cover and chill 6 hours. Can be easily doubled!!
