    Bourbon Pumpkin Pie

    I love bringing a taste of the south to my recipes. Many, many years ago I found a Bourbon Pumpkin Pie recipe on a website that doesn’t appear to still exist.  Since I found it, I’ve made it many times over the years, of course with my own touches and tweaks.  I couldn’t believe with all the times I’ve made this pie, that I haven’t shared my version of the recipe with you. So I'm changing that immediately.

    What you'll need

    A bowl and a whisk. That's it!

    Ingredients

    pie crust
    canned pumpkin
    sour cream
    cream
    eggs
    brown sugar
    bourbon
    cinnamon
    nutmeg
    allspice
    kosher salt
    cloves

    a slice of bourbon pumpkin pie on a round white plate with a rose gold fork on the plate to the right of the pie, with the fork prongs pointing toward the viewer. Behind the slice, off to the left is the remaining pie with the one slice missing.

    How to make Bourbon Pumpkin Pie

    It’s SO easy! Like ridiculously easy.  Here's what you do: pour all the ingredients in a bowl, whisk them together, pour the mixture into a pie crust, and bake.

    Common Questions

    What's the difference between pumpkin and pumpkin pie filling?

    Pumpkin pie filling is basically all the pie filling ingredients already mixed together! We are making our own pumpkin pie filling, so you want to be sure to use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.

    How do you tell if pumpkin pie is done?

    Pumpkin pie is done when it's just slightly jiggly in the center, but otherwise mostly set. If it's too jiggly, it's underdone so let it keep going! It's better for it to be a little bit over-baked than a little bit under-baked.

    There is really no reason to not make this pie all fall long. It takes no time at all, and the result is a huge hit with everyone who's tried it! Take the stress out of your Thanksgiving baking, and impress your friends all fall long by sharing this deliciousness with everyone you know!

    • Frozen Pie Shell or homemade if you prefer
    • 15 oz canned pumpkin
    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • ½ cup cream

    • ¼ teaspoon cloves

    Instructions

    • Pour into pie shell and bake approximately 40 - 50 minutes until mostly set (just a bit jiggly in the center) and the crust is golden.

    • Slice and enjoy!

      This pie is delicious! The bourbon gives it a scrumptious surprise. I'm not an experienced baker, but this recipe makes me feel and tastes like an expert. Can't wait to make it again for Thanksgiving.

    About Liz

    A headshot of Liz holding Gizmo, a small Yorkie with his tongue out.

    I started creating my own recipes when I realized that baking blogs usually shared complicated and time-consuming recipes that needed a lot of kitchen equipment and a lot of ingredients. But I knew that baking did not need to be difficult! As much as I love to make these super simple recipes for my friends and family, I also love being able to share them with you!
