Ingredients for Fireball Whiskey Pumpkin Pie

Pie Crust: this recipe is a great opportunity to use a pre-made pie crust, but you can also make your own homemade pie crust if you prefer.
Pumpkin Pie Filling: this is typically a combination of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves). You can find my Homemade Pumpkin Spice recipe here.
Evaporated Milk: gives your pie a rich texture and a sweet flavor.
Eggs
Sugar
Salt: helps balance out all the sweet ingredients.
Spices: I added ginger, cloves, and cinnamon to accentuate the nostalgic and warm flavors of pumpkin pie.
Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey: this unique spiced whiskey will add a punch of cinnamon and that classic complex whiskey taste.

How to Prepare Your Pie Crust

I started with a store bought frozen pie crust. Let it thaw for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, turn your oven on to 400F and get all the other ingredients together.

After your crust has thawed, use a fork to poke holes in the bottom. This will prevent the crust from bubbling as it sometimes wants to do. Poke holes around the sides too!
Set in your preheated oven for 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it.
Once the crust is a pretty golden brown, remove from the oven and let it fully cool.

Pour into the cooled pie crust and bake at 425 F for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven to 350F and bake for another 45 minutes.
Check to see if it is done by poking a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done!
Remove from oven and let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Pumpkin Pie FAQ’s

Do I have to use a pre-made crust?

Not at all! I used a pre-made crust just for the sake of saving time, but if you have a recipe for pie crust that’s tried and true, feel free to use that instead.
If you’re looking for a recipe to make your own pie crust, try this one from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

How long will this pie last?

To store this pie and maximize its shelf life, make sure it cools all the way and cover it with some plastic wrap or foil. In the fridge, it should last for 4 to 5 days.
If you’d like to make your pie last longer, you can also store it in the freezer, where it should be fine for at least 2 months or so. To defrost, just leave it in the fridge overnight.

What’s the best way to reheat pie?

Cut yourself a slice and place it on a microwave-safe plate, then pop it in the microwave for 10 to 30 seconds right before eating. If you like it hotter, microwave further in 15-seconds increments.
If you’d like to reheat the entire pie, you can also place it in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes.

How long can a pumpkin pie sit out without being refrigerated?

I only recommend leaving a pumpkin pie at room temperature for about 2 hours. After that, you run the risk of things like bacterial growth. Store the pie in the fridge or even the freezer when you’re not actively serving it.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

This pie would be great with some whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Sprinkle the top of the pie with ground cinnamon mixed with some powdered sugar for an extra burst of flavor.
Crush some pecans or walnuts and scatter them over top of your pie. This will give some delicious nutty flavor and a nice crunch to vary the texture.
If you can’t find Fireball, there are several types of alcohol that could be substituted, such as Stillhouse Red Hot Whiskey, Beach Whiskey Bonfire Cinnamon, or Evan Williams Fire. You could also try a classic whiskey, which would still taste delicious in this pie.
This pie would be phenomenal with the addition of a streusel topping; just spread on top of the filling before baking!
