Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix cracker crumbs and sugar for crust together in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until combined. Pat into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, and eggs for cream cheese layer in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Pour over crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set and no longer jiggles, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
- While the crust and cream cheese layer are cooling, combine pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup sugar, milk, egg yolks, cinnamon, and salt for pumpkin layer in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Pour water into a small saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle gelatin over top and stir until just dissolved. Stir into the pumpkin mixture and set aside to cool.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff and glassy. Fold into the pumpkin mixture. Pour over the cooled cream cheese layer and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours. Cut into 24 bars.
