Pumpkin Custard Meringue

[vilasman1]

Whould it be totally crazy to put a meringue on top of a pumpkin pie so you skip the step of putting whipped cream on it?

Never thought of it, but why not? We eat meringue on top of other custard pies, so I say go for it. And report back, of course.

I have done this several times...just to avoid all that whipped cream (and save it for the irish coffee later). A sweet meringue is, IMO, very good on a pumpkin (custard) pie.

Recommend it highly.
