Tips for a Perfect Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey Pumpkin Pie

1. Use Fresh Pumpkin: If you can, use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. Roasting a sugar pumpkin and blending it gives a deeper, richer taste compared to canned puree.
2. Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your palate and the sweetness of the pumpkin, you may want to adjust the sugar content in the recipe. Taste your pumpkin mixture before adding it to the crust.
3. Chill Your Pie Crust: For a flaky crust, ensure that your pie crust is well-chilled before adding the filling. This helps prevent the crust from shrinking during baking.
4. Serve with Whipped Cream: Top your pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream, preferably spiked with a touch of Fireball Whiskey for extra flavor!
5. Let it Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling set properly and makes for cleaner cuts.

Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 1/4 cup ice water

For the Pumpkin Filling:

• 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree (or fresh pumpkin)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey

Instructions

1. Make the Pie Crust:
   • In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the diced butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Mix until well combined.
   • Add the eggs, heavy cream, and Fireball Whiskey, and whisk until smooth.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Roll out the chilled pie crust on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place the crust in the dish and trim the edges.
   • Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Top with whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.
