Boozy Pumpkin Pie
MAKE IT SHINE!

I haven't made this for years, but I used to make it every Thanksgiving as it was my late FIL's favourite dessert. I guess you could use any whisky but I do recommend Canadian rye. This is not a heavy pie and is good after a big meal. This is based on a Mennonite recipe called Karrups Pie Mit Schnapps.

This receipe is quite unique and has really impressed my friends and family. Everyone who has tried my take on this receipe raves about it, telling me they have never tasted anything quite like it. I make it using brandy, and I add some fresh ground/minced ginger, and a dash of nutmeg. I usually try to lighten-up my receipes, but using the real thing (full-fat whipping cream) is actually worth it here. Great receipe!2Reply
