Bourbon Pumpkin Pie
Bourbon Pumpkin Pie is the only pumpkin dessert to make during the holidays! Bourbon adds richness, extra spice, and robust flavor, making it the pie of the season.
Equipment
- Pie Plate, 9-inches
- Decorative Piecrust cutters
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Mixer
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 Unbaked pie crust, 9-inches If you're not making the pie from scratch buy two pie crusts so you'll have dough leftover to make the decorative leaves.
- 1 Can of Libby's Pure Pumpkin, 15 ounces (not the pie filling)
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp Ground cloves
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 tbsp Bourbon
- Raw Sugar (to sprinkle on top of the pie)
- Whipped cream (for the top of each piece)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Prepare your pie dough and place it on a nine-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges of the pie shell. With your leftover dough, create decorative maple leaves with piecrust cutters. Do not add the leaves to the pie yet. Place the pie plate and leaves in the fridge while you prepare the bourbon pumpkin pie filling.
- Next, mix the dry ingredients (brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves) in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Beat three eggs in a mixer.
- Add the pumpkin, bourbon, and dry mixture to the eggs. Mix ingredients well.
- Gradually stir in the heavy cream and evaporated milk. Mix well.
- Pour the bourbon pumpkin pie filling into the unbaked pie shell. Do not add the raw sugar or decorative leaves to the top just yet.
- Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. If the pie's filling is decently set after 15 minutes, add the leaf decoration and sprinkle the raw sugar on top. If the pie's filling is jiggling too much, wait to add the leaves and head to step 9.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. The pie will bake for an additional 40-45 minutes at this temperature. If the pie's filling was jiggling too much after baking for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F, bake it for ten minutes at 350 degrees F before adding the leaves and sugar, then place the pie back in the oven to finish baking.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack for two hours. Serve each slice with a dollop of homemade bourbon whipped cream.
