Instructions:

🎃 Prepare the Pumpkin Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the pumpkin, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix the ingredients well, creating a flavorful base for your pie.
-
🥚 Incorporate the Eggs:
- Add the egg yolks to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Gradually incorporate the evaporated milk, creating a smooth and luscious filling.
-
🥧 Fill the Pie Shell:
- Pour the heavenly pumpkin filling into an unbaked pie shell, spreading the goodness evenly.
-
🎂 Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 35 minutes or until a knife, inserted halfway between the center and edge, comes out clean. Watch as your kitchen fills with the enticing aroma of pumpkin perfection.
-
🌟 Prepare the Meringue:
- Once the pie is done, increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Now, let’s create the meringue magic!
-
🥄 Whip Up the Meringue:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and 1/8 tsp of salt using an electric mixer on high until foamy. Gradually add 6 tbsp of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue until stiff, glossy peaks form.
-
🍥 Meringue Artistry:
- Spoon a generous amount of the meringue around the edge of the warm pie, ensuring it touches the inner crust. Spread the meringue, creating a beautiful border. Heap the remaining meringue in the center, forming an enticing peak.
-
🎂 Bake to Glory:
- Using a flatware knife, create light small peaks in the meringue. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until the meringue achieves a tempting golden brown hue.
-
🍰 Cooling Elegance:
- Once baked to perfection, let the pie cool on a wire rack. Admire your culinary creation before slicing into the divine layers of pumpkin and meringue goodness.
