Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without the bourbon?

Sure can! Just swap it for more milk or cream. You'll still get a delicious pie, just without the boozy twist.

Can I use homemade pumpkin puree?

Absolutely! Just make sure it's smooth and not too watery, canned pumpkin is thicker and more consistent.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Bake it the day before and store it in the fridge. Serve chilled or let it come to room temperature.

    My new favorite pumpkin pie. Thanks for the recipe! I used a mix of pumpkin & squash puree (strained) from the garden, and Martha Stewart pate brisee recipe for the crust.
