This Bourbon Pumpkin Pie is a sweet, spiced slice of Southern charm. It’s got depth, warmth, and just enough bourbon to make folks say, “Mmm, what’s in this?”
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the thawed pie crust on a baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, milk, bourbon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
Use a good-quality bourbon you’d actually drink. It makes a difference in flavor!
Feel free to adjust the spice blend to your taste; add a pinch more cinnamon or a dash of cardamom if you’re feeling adventurous.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing so it sets up nice and neat.
