Powershell how to convert System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary to PSCustomObject?

I have a System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary that I have obtained by running the code snippet below. How do I convert $Obj to a PSCustomObject?

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web.Extensions")
$jsonserial= New-Object -TypeName System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer
$jsonserial.MaxJsonLength  = 67108864
$Obj = $jsonserial.DeserializeObject($JsonString)

New-Object should work from PS 2.0 onwards:

$custom = new-object PSCustomObject -Property $obj

This seems to work:

$ht = @{}
$ht += $obj
[PSCustomObject]$ht

Edit:

V3 solution:

$ht = [collections.hashtable]$obj
[PSCustomObject]$ht

I ended up using the following after the last line in the question

$Obj | ForEach-Object {
    $props = @{}
    $_.GetEnumerator() | ForEach-Object {
        $props[$_.Key] = $_.Value
    }

    [PSCustomObject]$props
}

If there is a faster, shorter or better way, please feel free to answer
