Preparation

Step 1

1. Place oven rack in lowest position. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix syrup, sugar, cream, molasses and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes. Whisk butter and salt into mixture until combined. Whisk in egg yolks until incorporated.

2. Scatter pecans in pie shell. Pour in filling. Place pie in on lowest rack in the hot oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until filling is set and center jiggles slightly when pie is gently shaken, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool pie on a rack for 1 hour. Then refrigerate until set, about 3 hours or up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.

3. For the bourbon whipped cream, whip the cream until soft mounds form. Gradually add sugar, whipping until cream forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in bourbon. Chill until ready to serve. Dollop a scoop of whipped cream on pie slices.
