Spirited Bourbon Desserts For Any Occasion

While you might find a handful of Southern recipes that call for hint of booze, we are firm believers that it's in the dessert dishes that it really shines— especially bourbon. Whether it's used in rich chocolate desserts, a decadent pie, or creamy ice cream, bourbon packs a punch in the kitchen. While you don't even need a reason to make one of these spirited bourbon dessert recipes, this list is especially suited for the holiday season. Naturally, Thanksgiving isn't complete without a pecan pie, but you'd be amiss not to try one of our spiked versions. And of course, we can't talk about bourbon desserts without mentioning bourbon balls. One bite of our Fudgy Pecan Bourbon Balls and you'll never make them differently. Plus, they make the yummiest treat for neighbors and hostesses. But these boozy desserts aren't just for the holidays, they're perfect for any celebration, so get boozy-baking!
