Perfect Pumpkin Pie

This is an absolutely lovely pumpkin pie recipe. Yes I did use the word lovely... Its a rich pumpkin pie so so so good .. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.
 Recipe makes enough for two pies

Ingredients:

2 cups canned pumpkin
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
3 Tbsp fancy molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp fine salt
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3 large eggs
1 1/3 cups whipping cream
3 tbsp brandy or Orange liqueur

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk pumpkin with brown sugar, molasses spices and salt. Whisk in eggs, then whipping cream and brandy or orange liqueur. Pour into chilled pie shell. Bake for 10 mins, then lower temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 20-30 mins, until filling puffs just a little around edges but still has a bit of jiggle in center when moved. Allow to cool to room temperature, and then chill completely. To serve pumpkin pie warm, it is recommended to bake and chill completely, then re-warm in a 300 degree oven for 15 mins before slicing.
