For an elegant spin on pumpkin pie, skip the traditional crust and opt for an airy, spiced pavlova. Pumpkin mousse, whipped cream, and pretty pomegranate syrup give this dessert a jewel-like presentation that's both stunning and delicious.

Cooks' Note

In humid weather, pavlova may need additional cooktime to crisp. After drying overnight, bake at 250°F until crisp, 30–60 minutes more.
