This Pumpkin Cream Pie with Bourbon Whipped Cream is creamy and flavorful. It features just enough Kentucky bourbon to kick up the flavor of the filling and fresh whipped cream. It’s a real crowd pleaser and there’s never a piece leftover.

Easy Pumpkin Cream Pie with Bourbon Whipped Cream Recipe

Traditional pumpkin pie tends to evoke a strong love or hate response from people. Perhaps it’s because the traditional pie leaves dessert lovers a bit disappointed in taste and texture. We began experimenting with different types of pumpkin pies when my Mom realized the classic pumpkin pie wasn’t really the star of the Thanksgiving dessert table. In fact, it was sometimes passed over for other pumpkin inspired desserts.

How to Make the Best Pumpkin Cream Pie with Bourbon Whipped Cream Recipe

Fall flavors shine in this delicious pumpkin cream pie. Everyone has their own taste, of course, and I also love Pumpkin Spice Layered Lush and Pumpkin Bread as much as the next person. Wanting to keep with tradition we just knew there had to be a more creamy option. This is one of our kitchen experiments that went wildly right, and I had to share it with you too. This pumpkin pie is creamy with a little kick and piled high with fresh whipped cream, it’s a true winner in every sense of the word.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Pumpkin Cream Pie: Canned pumpkin puree 9not pumpkin pie filling) heavy cream, softened cream cheese, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, large eggs and a 9 inch pie crust either refrigerated, frozen or you could use my recipe for Flaky Pie Crust.
For the Bourbon Whipped Cream you’ll need: Heavy cream, powdered sugar, dark bourbon (i.e. Maker’s Mark) or pure vanilla extract. You can also use both bourbon and vanilla.
Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A hand mixer or a stand mixer, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a large spoon or spatula, a 9 inch deep dish pie dish and a baking rack to cool the pie after baking.
Keep in mind with this pie, it’s all in the mixing. Whip the filling thoroughly until it’s smooth for the creamiest end result.
If you choose to use a frozen deep dish pie shell there’s no need to thaw it prior to filling and baking.
Fresh whipped cream isn’t as stable as a whipped topping so, it’s best to make it the day you’re going to serve it.
Chill both the pie and whipped cream thoroughly in the refrigerator. It can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored chilled until serving. As I mentioned previously, wait to prepare the bourbon whipped cream on the day you plan on serving it.
