Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
• For a homemade pie crust, you can use your favorite recipe or try a graham cracker crust for a different twist.
• To achieve the perfect meringue, make sure your bowl and beaters are clean and free of any grease.
• If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use a broiler to toast the meringue, but keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Storage and Serving

• Once the pie has cooled completely, you can cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Serve the pumpkin pie with marshmallow meringue chilled or at room temperature.
• For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some cinnamon or grated nutmeg on top before serving.
