Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 package (2 rounds) pie crust

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon bourbon

Brûlée Topping

  • 1/2 cup sugar (for brûlée topping)

Garnish

  • Fresh grated nutmeg
  • Grated orange zest
  • Small mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin spice mix until spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Incorporate Eggs and Liquids: Beat in eggs one at a time, fully mixing each before adding the next. Stir in sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, grated orange peel, and bourbon until smooth and well combined.
  4. Fill the Pie and Bake: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to set the filling thoroughly.
  6. Create the Brûlée Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie evenly with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar into a crisp golden crust, or place under a broiler for a few minutes while watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pie, garnish with fresh grated nutmeg, grated orange zest, and small mint leaves, then serve. Enjoy the smooth pumpkin flavor with the delightful brûlée crunch!

Notes

  • Use a kitchen torch for the best caramelized brûlée topping; broiler method works but requires careful attention.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely to ensure the filling sets properly before brûlée topping.
  • The bourbon adds depth; substitute with vanilla extract if preferred.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
