Ingredients
1 can pumpkin puree
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons bourbon
2 large eggs
1 pie shell unbaked
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to reach the desired temperature for baking the pie.
2.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3.
Whisk the mixture until all dry ingredients are well incorporated into the pumpkin puree without any lumps remaining.
4.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, bourbon, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
5.
Gradually add the cream mixture to the pumpkin puree mixture, stirring continuously until smooth and homogeneous.
6.
Pour the complete filling into the prepared, unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a level surface.
7.
Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set.
8.
Check the pie by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean from the center of the pie.
9.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to set completely.
10.
Refrigerate any leftover pie and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
