Pumpkin Pie with Bourbon
8 servings
30 minutes
Pumpkin pie with bourbon is the true embodiment of autumn coziness and exquisite flavor. Its roots trace back to European baking traditions where pumpkin symbolizes warmth and abundance. The delicate, velvety cream made from pumpkin puree, cream, and sour cream blends with deep notes of bourbon that add refined caramel sweetness and a hint of bitterness. Spices like cinnamon and ginger enhance the pie's aroma, making it rich and warming. The shortcrust pastry provides structure and crunch, complementing the airy filling. This pie is the perfect choice for autumn evenings, cozy gatherings with loved ones, and festive feasts. It can be served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to enjoy the richness of flavor nuances.
