In a large mixing bowl: Put all wet ingredients - pumpkin, cream, eggs, molasses. Mix well. Add sugar and spices and mix again using a whisk or mixer till smooth. Pour into 9-inch deep dish unbaked pie shell

Cover edges of crust with aluminum foil for 30 minutes to prevent over browning. Bake in the oven for one hour or until knife comes out clean.
