How to Make Boozy Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Beat with a mixer until completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup Canadian rye whiskey (or whiskey of your choice). Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. In a separate, clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gradually sprinkle 2 tablespoons cornstarch over the beaten egg whites and gently fold into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate lined with your favorite pie crust.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the center is just set. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
