Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade, unbaked)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup burnt honey (see instructions)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Burnt Honey: In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup honey over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the honey darkens to a deep amber color and smells intensely caramelized (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to burn it completely. Remove from heat immediately.
- Prepare the Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, burnt honey, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the honey custard mixture into the crust.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the custard to fully set.
Notes
Serve chilled or at room temperature. A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt adds a lovely finishing touch.
