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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust in an 8-inch deep dish or a 9-inch pie pan and chill in the fridge.

  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.
