This is definitely a unique way to bake your pumpkin pie, but it works and it’s super good! Not to mention, this pie has Fireball whiskey in it! Yum! Don’t worry, all the alcohol is burned off during the cooking process so you won’t get too tipsy on Thanksgiving 🙂 Plus, you have to work the grill so don’t go burning your pies because you’re three sheets to the wind.
I never knew I could grill my pumpkin pie, but it’s possible and the results are wonderful! You won’t believe how easy this is!
