Preparation Steps
- Prepare your pie crust from scratch or use store-bought dough, roll it out to fit a 9-inch pie plate, about 1/8 inch thick, and crimp the edges. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Halve and seed pumpkins, lay flesh-side down on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes until soft. Let cool, then purée the flesh until smooth.
- In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and spices. Cook over medium heat, stirring until fragrant. Add pumpkin puree and bourbon, heat for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then whisk in heavy cream and beaten eggs until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the center jiggles slightly.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for 2 to 3 hours, then refrigerate before serving.

Notes
For best results, use fresh puree and ensure the crust is well-chilled before baking. Adjust spices to taste for a personalized flavor profile.
