Bourbon Pumpkin Pie adds a warm, rich depth to the traditional pumpkin pie with a splash of bourbon. The smooth, spiced pumpkin filling paired with the slightly caramelized flavor from the bourbon creates a more complex and comforting flavor profile. Perfect for fall gatherings, Thanksgiving, or any special occasion when you want to add a touch of sophistication to a classic dessert!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3–4 tablespoons ice water

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (or about 2 cups homemade puree)

3/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup bourbon

2 large eggs

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges, then refrigerate again while preparing the filling.
  3. Make the filling: In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, bourbon, eggs, sugar, spices, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  4. Bake the pie: Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover the edges of the crust with foil if they brown too quickly.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the pie cool completely for 2-3 hours to set. Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Add a pinch of black pepper or cardamom to the filling for a spiced twist.

For a more flavorful crust, use graham cracker or gingersnap cookies.

Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra sweet touch.
