Bourbon Pumpkin Pie

Last Updated on 2020-10-24 by Linda

Can we keep talking about Pumpkin Spice even though it is not Fall?  I mean I know it’s usually a “thing” from August  until November but it is so scrumptious. Easter just went by and that usually means Turkey dinner which airs with Pumpkin Pie. There were no turkeys to be found this year so I decided to up the dessert factor with a Homemade Bourbon Pumpkin Pie.

Bourbon Pumpkin Pie

Easter cannot be celebrated in our home without Pumpkin Pie.   This year I thought I would up my game a bit and create a fun and unusual pie.  Well unusual for me because I never tried it before. Creating a tasty and delicious Bourbon Pumpkin Pie with a slight twist.

It was a simple adaptation, substitute Eagle Brand Sweetened condensed milk, add a few dashes of Bourbon and some of my homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice.  Now you can buy the ready made Pumpkin Pie Spice but what’s the fun in that? I am telling you this was a huge hit. I am not usually a lover of pumpkin pie but now, hello I am converted.

What you will need for the Bourbon Pumpkin Pie

The ingredients are not too many, gather them together and get ready to bake.  Now I cheated and used a ready made crust but one of these days I think I shall try my hand at pastry again.

Serving Dessert

Now that the pies are ready let’s have dinner shall we?  After we eat it is time for pie.  I find Pumpkin Pie needs a dollop of whip cream to complete it.  I am slightly serious here folks Pumpkin Pie without Whip Cream is like fries without ketchup. Tasty but not complete.

Looking for an extra wham, try my Pumpkin Spice Whip Cream with a dash cinnamon and sugar on top.

Savour and enjoy.
