Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan add the first 6 ingredients. Cook and stir over low to medium heat for 8-10 or until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin, butter, and spices. Allow to cool for a few minutes and press plastics wrap onto the top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.While the pudding is cooling add the flour, salt, and butter into a mixer bowl. Add the chopped or grated butter and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces.
Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
Dust wax or parchment paper with flour and knead dough into a ball. Divide into two parts. Make one ball slightly larger than the other. Or two equal parts and use two standard pie plates. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Roll the larger ball of dough into a circle until it will fit into a 10-inch deep dish pie plate. Crimp edges or roll out the smaller ball of dough and make acorn cutouts.
Put parchment paper into the bottom of pie crust and add pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly brown.Remove and cool completely. Pour the pumpkin pudding into the pie shell.
In the bowl of a mixer using the whisk attachment whip the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread over the pie and top with chopped dark chocolate or toffee candy.
