12 ladyfingers, split in half lengthwise
2/3 cup fine gingersnap cookie crumbs
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin

3. Beat egg whites (at room temperature) in a large bowl, until stiff peaks form. Gently fold pumpkin mixture and whipped cream into egg whites. Fold in almonds. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
4. Cover, and chill at least 6 hours or overnight. Pipe rosettes of Rum Cream on top of charlotte, and sprinkle with Sugar Almonds to garnish.
