Bourbon Vanilla Pumpkin Roll Recipes

BOURBON VANILLA PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with waxed paper; spray paper with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs with whisk until fluffy and light yellow, about 2 minutes. Add pumpkin, dry cake mix, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir until combined. Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly to corners.
• Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until center of cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately loosen cake from sides of pan and turn upside down onto dish towel generously sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove pan and waxed paper. Carefully roll up cake in towel. Cool completely on cooling rack, seam side down, about 1 hour.
• In large bowl, beat all frosting ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
• Carefully unroll cooled cake and remove towel. Spread about two-thirds of the frosting over cake to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up cake; carefully place on serving plate. Frost with remaining frosting. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or until set.

VANILLA-BOURBON PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add about one-third of the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Add the remaining butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the vanilla seeds, bourbon and 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water; pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the heavy cream, bourbon and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a simmer. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Whisk in the pumpkin, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
• Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake until lightly golden around the edge, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is dry and golden all over, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely; leave the baking sheet in the oven. Reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Discard the cinnamon stick from the filling; pour into the cooled crust and return the pie to the hot baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. (Tent the crust with foil if it browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
