Salted Honey Pie 

This Salted Honey Pie is a luxurious custard-style dessert that beautifully marries sweetness and salt in every bite. Creamy, silky honey-flavored filling is poured into a flaky pie crust, then baked to golden perfection. With the final sprinkle of flaky sea salt, each slice offers a complex contrast of flavors—sweet, salty, creamy, and rich. Perfect for holidays or any special gathering, this elegant pie will win hearts and become a memorable addition to your dessert repertoire. Serve warm or chilled, perhaps with whipped cream or a touch more honey.

Ingredients (serves ~8)

• 1 pie crust (homemade or refrigerated)
  
  

• 4 large egg yolks
  
  

• ½ cup honey
  
  

• ⅔ cup light brown sugar, packed
  
  

• ⅓ cup cornstarch
  
  

• ½ teaspoon salt (in filling)
  
  

• 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  
  

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
  

• Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling before serving
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare crust: Fit pie crust into an 8–9‑inch pie pan and chill in the refrigerator; do not prebake. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
   
   
   

2. Cook filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir constantly until mixture boils and thickens—able to coat the back of a spoon.
   
   
   

3. Temper yolks: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly whisk in a few tablespoons of the hot cream mixture to temper the eggs, then add the rest and stir until smooth.
   
   
   

4. Finish custard: Stir in honey and vanilla until fully combined. For the smoothest texture, strain the custard before pouring into crust.
   
   
   

5. Bake: Gently pour the custard into the chilled pie crust. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top bubbles and browns slightly and edges are set though the center still jiggles.
   
   
   

6. Cool: Remove pie and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate until fully firm (at least 1 hour or overnight).
   
   
   

7. Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top. Enjoy warm or chilled.
