What You Need to Make a Boozy Pumpkin Pie
- Pillsbury Pie Crust – already prepared – in the dairy case
- White Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Ground Ginger
- Cloves
- Large Eggs
- Libby’s Pure Pumpkin – NOT THE PIE FILLING, JUST THE PLAIN PUMPKIN
- Nestle’s Carnation Evaporated Milk
- Butterscotch Schnapps

Can I use homemade pie crust?
You totally can! You can use your favorite homemade pie crust in place of the Pillsbury store-bought pie crust.
How can I use less sugar?
If you want to make this with lower sugar, you can simply cut down on the sugar or use an alternative sweetener such as Stevia.
What kind of pumpkin do I use?
You want to use the Libby’s Pure Pumpkin (plain pumpkin) not the pie filling.
Does the alcohol get baked out?
Not entirely. While it is true that the longer you bake something such as this pie, the alcohol sort of evaporates, many studies have proven that it would take hours to bake out alcohol entirely. Therefore, there still will be some alcohol in this pie once it’s done baking. It should only be consumed by adults.
How to Make a Boozy Pumpkin Pie
Unroll one of the already prepared pie crusts, and place it in a pie plate/pan.
Fit the crust into the pan, and crimp edges around the top of the pie plate, or dish. Set aside.
In a bowl, add the plain pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and Cloves and stir to blend.
Break the eggs into a separate bowl, and stir eggs, until they’re a light lemon color, add to Pumpkin, and stir well to blend.
Add evaporated milk, and schnapps, and stir until completely blended.
Pour the Pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie shell, and place in the oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center, comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve when cool, or refrigerate until time to serve.
Before serving, cut into 2 inch pieces/wedges, and top with a generous amount of whipped cream.
Enjoy!
NOTE: You can keep the pie in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, but you cannot freeze the pie, as the filling will separate from the crust.
