It's true that pies with meringue toppings should not be made too far in
advance for reasons already discussed here. I never thought to tell you
that. Some cookbooks will give that advice in their recipes.

Many years ago in the US, chocolate cream pie was also frequently topped
with meringue. It was also a nice combination. Today, however, most
chocolate cream pies are topped with whipped cream. I think more people
prefer that. Occasionally I still make a chocolate cream pie with
meringue, and serve it well-chilled.
