Note

Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The whipped cream should be added just before serving to maintain its texture.

Note that the whiskey in the whipped cream does not cook out, so the alcohol content remains. If serving to those who should avoid alcohol, omit the whiskey from the whipped cream or use a non-alcoholic vanilla extract substitute.

You can substitute golden raisins with regular raisins or dried cranberries for a tart twist. Walnut halves can also be used in place of pecans.

Ensure your heavy cream and mixing bowl are very cold when making the whipped cream for best volume and stability.
