Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges if desired.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This step allows the filling to set properly.
While the pie cools, prepare the spiced whipped cream. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and a pinch of ground nutmeg until soft peaks form.
Once the pie has cooled, slice and serve topped with a generous dollop of spiced whipped cream and an optional sprinkle of additional nutmeg for garnish.
