Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch pie shell, partially baked
  • 1 16-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

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 F.
  • Prepare the partially baked pie crust.
  • 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.

Notes

How To Blind Bake a Pie Crust

To blind bake the crust, heat the oven to 400°F. Line the prepared pie crust with a 15-inch sheet of aluminum foil (leave some overhang so it will be easy to remove the pie weights later) and fill the pie with pie weights or dry beans. The weights will keep the pie shell from bubbling up as it bakes. Bake it with the weights for about 15 minutes and then remove the pie weights and paper or foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. For a partially baked pie, bake for about 8 minutes longer, or until just lightly browned. For a fully baked pie crust, bake it for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
