Bourbon Pumpkin Pie

Recipe Description

This Bourbon Pumpkin Pie is the perfect dessert to serve up in the middle of winter! It is rich and comforting. As the name suggests, the filling for this pie contains bourbon but if you wish to swap it for something non-alcoholic, orange juice or milk are good substitutions.

To make this pie, start by making the pie crust. Make the filling by whisking pumpkin puree with eggs, heavy cream, sugar, bourbon, and vanilla until smooth and well blended.
Add the spices and salt and whisk well. Pour the filling into the crust and place the pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool completely before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
