Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust and fit it into your pie dish. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the honey, stirring occasionally, until it turns a deep amber color and smells slightly smoky (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Stir the unsalted butter into the hot honey until fully melted. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly pour in the cooled honey mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake the pie for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The edges should be golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a cooling rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
[‘Watch the honey closely during caramelization to avoid burning it.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs to prevent curdling in the custard.’, ‘Chill the pie thoroughly for at least 2 hours to ensure the custard sets properly.’, ‘Customize the crust with a sprinkle of sugar or cinnamon for added flavor.’]
