  • Fill with the pumpkin custard and bake until custard sets and is starting to split, about 40-45 minutes.
  • Refrigerate overnight for best results.
  • Optional final step for a crème brulee type crust on top: before serving, sprinkle roughly 3 tbsp of white sugar overtop custard, shield the pie crust with foil so it doesn’t burn, and broil for 3 minutes or until sugar is bubbling and dark, or use a kitchen torch. Let sit to cool slightly. Whisk whipping cream and confectioner sugar together to form stiff peaks. Fold in bourbon.
