This seasonal pastry consisted of a torched meringue witches hat set on a crispy chocolate shell with a creamy pumpkin filling. The meringue had a soft chewy texture that was quite delightful, and the pastry wasn't too sweet. The pumpkin flavor came through nicely, and with a cup of strong coffee, this was a fitting post Halloween breakfast. Meringue, by the way, is whipped sweetened egg white stabilized with cream of tartar. It's completely white unless you torch it to get some color.
