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
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.
Melissa
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.
Melissa
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!
