Prep Time 15 minutes minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes minutes
- 1 pie crust, partially baked, see below
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, light or dark, packed
- 2 tablespoons bourbon, or rum
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Prepare the partially baked pie crust (see below).
In a bowl, beat the pumpkin puree with the eggs, cream, and brown sugar until smooth and well blended. Stir in the bourbon, vanilla, spices, and salt.
Pour the filling into the partially baked pie shell.
Bake the pie at 400 F for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set. It will still have a bit of wobble in the center.
Remove the pie to a rack and let it cool.
Slice and enjoy!
