Description
A delightful dessert that beautifully combines sweet and salty flavors with a creamy honey custard filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- Pie crust (refrigerated or homemade)
- 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch, sifted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust in a deep dish 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan and chill it in the fridge (no pre-baking required).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat the cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat, stirring regularly until it comes to a rolling boil and thickens.
- Gradually whisk a little bit of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks to avoid curdling, then slowly whisk in the rest of the cream mixture until well combined.
- Stir in honey and vanilla extract to the custard.
- Pour the custard into the chilled pie crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly, allowing the pie to still be a bit jiggly but will firm up as it cools.
- Cool the pie to room temperature, then refrigerate until fully chilled and set.
- Top with sea salt, if desired, before serving.
Notes
Serve chilled, preferably with whipped cream or ice cream. Fresh fruit can enhance flavor and presentation. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
