Wrap each circle in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Roll out one dough circle into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan.

Tuck the overhanging dough inside and create a fluted edge.

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.

Roll out the second dough circle and cut out leaf shapes for decoration.

Bake leaf cutouts in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes until golden.

Pre-bake the pie crust at 400°F for 15 minutes with parchment paper and baking beans.

Whisk eggs in a bowl and add sugars, then mix in pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and spices until creamy.

Pour the filling into the cooled pre-baked pie crust.

Bake the pie at 350°F for 1 hour until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.

Cool the pie completely and decorate with baked leaf cutouts.
