A delightful dessert combining sweet honey and a hint of salt in a creamy custard filling, set in a flaky pie crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pie crust (refrigerated or homemade)
  • 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust in an 8-inch deep dish or a 9-inch pie pan and chill in the fridge.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt; heat over medium while stirring constantly until it thickens and boils, then remove from heat.
  3. Temper the egg yolks by gradually whisking in the hot cream mixture until fully combined.
  4. Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stir in honey and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Pour custard filling into the chilled pie crust and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Cool on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top and slice into 8-10 portions.

Notes

This pie can be made a day or two ahead of time. Store in the refrigerator and keep covered to maintain freshness.
