Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In small bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar til soft peaks form. Set
aside.

In large bowl, beat egg yolks, pumpkin, cream cheese, whatever spices you're using (mine is different every year), until well blended.

Fold egg white mixture into pumpkin mixture.

Bake in pie shells 1 hour, or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean.

While pies are cooking, mix eggnog and cornstarch in saucepan, medium heat to boiling, simmer a couple minutes on low until it thickens.
