• Turn out pate brisee onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to a 12-inch round, a bit less than 1/4 inch thick; fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Crimp edges as desired. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line shell with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights. Bake until edge of crust begins to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Remove parchment and weights. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake until pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

Slowly pour in hot cream, whisking constantly until combined; return cream mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon and hold a line when you drag a finger through it, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in rum. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Separate any raisins that are stuck together. Arrange raisins in an even layer on bottom of cooled crust. Carefully pour in hot custard. Bake until center is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Before serving, put remaining 2/3 cup cream and the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve pie with whipped cream.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch round, a bit less than 1/4 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate, pressing into the edges. For the checkerboard edging, trim the dough to the outer edge of the pie plate, then make 1/2-inch cuts at 3/4-inch intervals all around. Bend every other tab of crust forward. Chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Line chilled pie shell with a round of parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are just beginning to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Remove parchment and weights. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Return crust to the oven; continue baking until light golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, whisk together granulated sugar, whole eggs, egg yolks, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in hot cream until combined; pour back into saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and hold a line when you drag a finger through it, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the rum. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Sort through the raisins, separating any that are stuck together. Arrange the raisins in an even layer on the bottom of the cooled crust. Carefully pour in the hot custard; bake, rotating the pie halfway through, until filling is set in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Just before serving, combine the remaining 2/3 cup cream and the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat until soft peaks form. Serve slices of pie with a dollop of whipped cream on each. Pie can be kept, chilled and loosely covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.
