I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any Grand Marnier. Do you think I could substitute another liqueur?

The Grand Marnier glaze was a bit overpowering. I think I would use less next time.

The gingersnap crust was the perfect complement to the sweet pumpkin filling. I loved the hint of spice it added.

This pumpkin grand marnier tart was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The combination of the creamy pumpkin filling, the tangy Grand Marnier glaze, and the crunchy gingersnap crust was divine. I will definitely be making this again next year.
