Remove use foil or parchment to remove weights and continue to bake until pale golden, 6 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, 1 (15-oz.) can canned solid-pack pumpkin (about 2 cups), 1 cup heavy cream, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup whole milk, room temperature, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground ginger, ¼ tsp. kosher salt, and pinch of ground cloves, then pour into pie shell.
