Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place the blind-baked crust on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.

Make the pumpkin pie filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom and whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and egg yolks and whisk until combined. Add the cream, bourbon, lemon juice and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Pour the filling into the piecrust.

Bake until the filling is set, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, covering the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they brown too quickly. Transfer the pie dish to the wire rack and let the pie cool completely, about 4 hours, before serving. Cut into slices and serve each with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
