This Pumpkin Cream Pie With Bourbon Whipped Cream has a palate pleasing creamy texture and just enough Kentucky bourbon to kick up the flavor of the filling and whipped cream. It’s a real crowd pleaser and there’s never a piece leftover.

Pumpkin Cream Pie With Bourbon Whipped Cream

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.

Fall Flavors Shine in this 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 experiments that went wildly right, and I had to share it with you too. Creamy with a little kick and piled high with fresh whipped cream, it’s a true winner in every sense of the word.

Keep in mind:

  • It’s all in the mixing. Whip the filling thoroughly for the creamiest end result.
  • 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 for the most desirable result.

    I noticed in the filling part of the recipe, 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided. I don’t see what the division is nor where it goes. Can you clarify that for me. I want to make this pie! Sounds wonderful.

      Hi Wanda, the word “divided” didn’t belong there. 1/2 cup cream goes into the filling. The remaining cream is for the whipped cream.

    This pie is amazing! I didn’t have a refrigerated pie crust so I used a graham cracker crust and it was still awesome. Next time I make it I will definitely use regular piecrust. This will become a Thanksgiving staple at my house.

      So happy you loved this one, we do too. It makes me happy to know you’ll be including it in your holiday celebrations. I think the graham cracker crust was a nice way to change it up. Well done!

    What a spectacular pie with a little zip to put it over the top.
    I have had bourbon in pecan pie, but not pumpkin and in the whipped cream too. Wow, I am putting this recipe aside!
