Pumpkin Meringue Pie is a classic pumpkin pie kicked up a notch. Topped with a light and fluffy meringue. An easy dessert for your Holiday table!
Truth be told we love everything pumpkin. From soup to desserts pumpkin is in our lives all year long.
We have always made pumpkin pie. I mean sure you can buy a pumpkin pie at the store but they really don’t compare to a homemade pie.
And they really are pretty simple to make. You will start by mixing granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, ground cloves, eggs, evaporated milk, canned pumpkin.
Can you use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin?
You sure can. You can use fresh just prepare it and let it cool so it will be ready for the pie.
That’s it for the pumpkin pie part. Pretty simple right?
Use your hand held mixer and mix well.
What you will need for the Meringue:
6 egg whites , 2 teaspoon cream of tartar, 2/3 cup sugar.
Spread meringue over the top of the pie (when it has finished baking to the edge of the crust, sealing the pie.
PIN IT!!
Bake in a 350-degree oven for an additional 15 minutes.
