A deliciously creamy and sweet pie with the perfect balance of honey and salt, finished with a buttery pie crust. This salted honey pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  2. 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  3. 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  4. ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
  5. ⅓ cup cornstarch, sifted
  6. ½ tsp salt
  7. ½ cup honey
  8. 2 tsp vanilla extract
  9. Flaky sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    Place the pie crust into an 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the Filling:
    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil and thicken.
  • Temper the Egg Yolks:
    Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper them. Gradually whisk in the rest of the cream mixture until smooth.
  • Add Honey & Vanilla:
    Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Assemble the Pie:
    Pour the custard filling into the chilled pie crust.
  • Bake the Pie:
    Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling bubbles and turns golden. The center should still be slightly jiggly.
  • Cool & Set:
    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on the counter until it reaches room temperature. Then refrigerate until fully set.
  • Serve:
    Just before serving, sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the sweet-and-salty flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to temper the egg yolks slowly to avoid curdling.
  • The pie needs to chill for several hours to set fully, so plan ahead.
  • You can use a store-bought crust to save time, but homemade adds extra flavor!
  • Garnish with extra flaky sea salt for a beautiful finish.
