Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375ðF (191ðC). Wash a large pumpkin, cut it in half, and place cut-side down in a baking pan.

Roast the pumpkin until soft but not mushy, then scrape out the flesh.
-
Place the pumpkin flesh in a colander and let it drain overnight in a cool place to remove excess liquid.

The next day, take 2 cups of the drained pumpkin and whip it thoroughly with a fork until smooth and lump-free.
-
Separate 4 eggs. Beat the pumpkin with sugar, egg yolks, and cinnamon for 5 minutes until well combined.
-
Quickly stir in the cream, whiskey, and butter until fully mixed.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the stiff egg whites and gently fold them into the pumpkin mixture.
-
Pour the filling into a pie pan lined with pastry.
-
Bake for one hour at 375ðF (191ðC) until set.

Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
