Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your pre-baked 9-inch pie crust and set it aside on a wire rack to cool completely.

  3. Blend in molasses and spices (ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves) until well incorporated.
  4. In another chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add optional powdered sugar, then whip until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture, then pour into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Top with remaining whipped cream and smooth for an elegant look.
  7. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight.
