Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Avoid pricking holes in the crust.
3
To prevent the edges from burning, cover them with foil and bake the crust at 450 degrees F for 8 minutes.
4
Once baked, let the crust cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the jumbo eggs and spiced rum until well combined.
6
Add the fine sea salt, pumpkin pie spice, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
7
Stir in the canned pumpkin puree, followed by the heavy cream. Mix until the filling is smooth and free of lumps.
8
Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
9
Place the pie on a sheet pan (to catch any drips) and bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the pie. It should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
