    Ingredients

    • 1 can pumpkin puree

    • 3/4 cup brown sugar

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 2/3 cup heavy cream

    • 2 tablespoons bourbon

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 pie shell unbaked

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to reach the desired temperature for baking the pie.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
    • Whisk the mixture until all dry ingredients are well incorporated into the pumpkin puree without any lumps remaining.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, bourbon, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
    • Gradually add the cream mixture to the pumpkin puree mixture, stirring continuously until smooth and homogeneous.
    • Pour the complete filling into the prepared, unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a level surface.
    • Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set.
    • Check the pie by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean from the center of the pie.
    • Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to set completely.
    • Refrigerate any leftover pie and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Krispy Kreme Just Dropped a Latin American Dessert Collection — Three New Doughnuts Available Now

    Krispy Kreme’s filled doughnuts are more indulgent than the classic Original Glazed, but the Destination Dessert Collection offers a genuinely interesting cultural experience worth savoring slowly rather than rushing through. Ordering one to share — splitting a Guava Cheesecake or Tres Leches doughnut between two people — lets you taste the flavor without the full calorie commitment of a whole doughnut each. It’s also worth pairing with a plain black coffee rather than a sweet beverage, since the richness of the filled doughnuts stands out more clearly without competing sweetness from your drink.

    Taco Cupcakes

    Using wonton wrappers rather than deep-fried taco shells significantly reduces the added fat in this recipe while still producing a satisfying, crispy shell. Using lean ground beef and a modest amount of cheddar per cup keeps each serving protein-rich and portion-friendly—making it easy to enjoy several without overindulging.
